Mass properties are important parameters in
dynamic systems analysis, but may be difficult
to estimate for irregularly-shaped objects. Specifically, the iMachine is designed to
analyze manual wheelchairs in an effort to
determine the propulsion efficiency using the
Anatomical Model Propulsion System (AMPS).
