Research Areas
The research thrust in recent years has focused on the development of technology that detects lameness of various four legged animals. Bovine, ovine, and equine lameness detection technologies are under development. The laboratory has initiated research efforts that develop technology that measure responses of mice to spinal cord repairs and analyzes gait of aging monkeys.
Another effort addresses the inspection of agricultural produce and automatic orientation of the produce.
