REDMOUSE.AI STRIDE LAB SIGN IN OPEN THE SIMULATOR

ROADMAP

Where STRIDE LAB is today, and what comes next.

STRIDE LAB is a research project in its design stage. This page separates what you can use today from what exists only in simulation and from what still has to be built.

1 · EXISTS

What exists

  • The digital twin. A physics simulation of the device that runs in your browser: the belt, the four articulated legs on motorised wheels, the two telescopic stabilizers and the seat mode. The control software is written and tested in it. Open the simulator
  • Learning shared between browsers. Browsers running the simulator train the controller on new terrain and obstacles and share anonymous counts of what worked, shown on the public counter. See the counter
  • The Gait Analysis Lab. A 3D skeleton and ESTIMATED gait parameters from an ordinary walking video, analysed in your browser. For registered users. Create a free account

2 · SIMULATED

What is simulated

  • The device itself. Its mechanics, motors, joints and the seat mode are modelled. There is no physical prototype yet.
  • Sensors and control. The controller reads simulated sensors and reacts inside the model, not on real hardware.
  • The effect on balance. The improvements shown in the story (pelvic sway, trunk range, step-time asymmetry) come from a generated gait and a model of balance support. They are SIMULATED: a hypothesis to test.
  • Terrain. Kerbs, steps, ramps and obstacles are generated by the simulator.

3 · TO BUILD

What remains to be built

  • A first physical prototype. The belt, legs, wheels and stabilizers, running the same control software as the digital twin.
  • A safety review. A device that people wear while walking has to be reviewed for safety before anyone uses it.
  • Real-world testing. First without a wearer, then with volunteers under appropriate ethical and safety oversight. Only then can a result be labelled MEASURED.

4 · FUNDING

Next funding milestone

Next milestone: to be announced.

How we will use the funds: the project is in its first stage, design. In this stage the device's digital twin is fine-tuned and learns to follow the wearer's movements, compensate for instability, improve their balance, and avoid or step over obstacles.
