Software development
The CBL actively develops open-source software that accelerates biomechanical research.
We maintain OpenSim Creator, a GUI for building OpenSim models. The CBL was awarded a Chan-Zuckerberg EOSS grant to develop OpenSim Creator from scratch in direct collaboration with model builders and researchers. This is an example of how our broad experience in model building, software development, and UI design enable us to build useful open-source products for the wider community (Site, GitHub).
PTBot
The PTBot project aims to merge robotics with biomechanical simulations in order to create a robotic physical therapist.
The CBL has access to HARDWARE and plans on using SOFTWARE to automatically create TREATMENT for patients. This is a revolution, yada yada.

OpenSim Creator
OpenSim Creator is desktop graphical user interface (GUI) software for creating OpenSim models from scratch.
Creating representative models is challenging. OpenSim Creator is a larger, long-term CBL project that aims to make it easier for researchers to build and analyse models.
The CBL was awarded a Chan-Zuckerberg EOSS grant to develop OpenSim Creator from scratch in direct collaboration with model builders and researchers. To that end, we developed OpenSim Creator as a large, fully integrated, application that directly utilises the OpenSim C++ API in order to build models in a way that's visual and provides instant feedback.
Our long-term ambitions are to continue to grow OpenSim Creator by adding features that modellers need in order to succeed, while keeping it as a completely integrated single-install application that "just works".
See OpenSim Creator's repo for more information.
