Robot to Model Nuances of Human Skiers
     

A human can learn the fine art of skiing with enough practice, but they
can't explain the science behind their complex movements afterward.
A research team at Kanazawa University in Japan is developing an experimental
robot in an effort to understand the kinematics involved. The
project will attempt to model and analyze the movements of skiers and
may ultimately provide tips to improve their performance.
