At the Department of Robotics of Nazarbayev University School of Science and Technology, the MVN Analyze is being used for both teaching and research purposes. The system is being used in various courses such as Introduction to Robotics and student internships. It also is an integral part of several research projects at the Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics Systems (ARMS) Laboratory ranging from mobile robot tele-operation to gesture recognition.
“We are using real-time features of the Xsens Motion Capture System to develop advanced tele-operation algorithms for mobile robots. The system is very intuitive. Undergraduate students were able to use it during their summer internships after one day of training”, says Prof. Atakan Varol of the Nazarbayev University.
