summary

The real world is not perfect. So, if we measure the motion of a person's body as they walk, and measure how hard their feet hit the ground while they walk, those measurements will not be completely consistent: namely, force will not exactly equal mass times acceleration. My colleagues and I developed a new "residual reduction algorithm" that corrects these errors to make force equal mass times acceleration in our measured data. This algorithm has been used by hundreds of users and enabled the generation of an accurate walking simulation 20 times longer than previously feasible.

Over 275 publications have cited the residual reduction algorithm (RRA) as of January 8, 2019.
