MyoChallenge 24

The movement generalization and environment adaptability skills displayed by humans using bionic extensions are a testament to motor intelligence, a capability yet unmatched by current artificial intelligence. 

This year MyoChallenge will have two tracks: manipulation and locomotion. The manipulation track will require bi-manual coordination of the BionicMyoArms model – a combination of a virtual biological arm and the Modular Prosthetic Limb (MPL). The goal will be to coordinate the use of those two limbs to manipulate a series of objects. In the locomotion track, we will exploit a new BionicMyoLegs model made from the combination of a virtual bilateral biological leg with a trans-femoral amputation together with an Open Source prosthetic leg. The goal will be to coordinate the musculo-skeleto-bionic model to navigate challenging terrains and obstacles in an oval running loop.
