All treatments will be tested on a digital person to find the perfect

Researchers from the United States have developed an open-source MyoSuite framework that builds advanced locomotor models. They can learn to perform complex movements and interact with assistive robots.

MyoSuite helps simulate musculoskeletal systems using artificial intelligence (AI) as well as physically interacting with assistive robots, such as an exoskeleton.

With MyoSuite, biological phenomena such as muscle fatigue, muscle sarcopenia, tendon rupture, and tendon repair can be simulated. In addition, it is possible to simulate the performance of the assistive robot that is needed to recover from a disruption.

MyoSuite will help shorten exoskeletal development and improve robotic treatments. This usually requires long experiments with real patients.

"We hope that the diverse features of our platform will improve our understanding of human neuromechanical systems. And improve the quality of treatment using robotic agents," said Professor and head of work Massimo Sartori.
