A team of researchers from the University of Alberta (UofA) and the University of Calgary (UofC) won the 2006 Royal Institute of Navigation (RIN) Michael Richey Medal for the best research results published in Navigation, the Journal of the Royal Institute of Navigation. The award-winning research was conducted by UofA MSc candidate Ross Stirling in 2002-03 under the co-supervision of Professor Ken Fyfe, Dept of Mechanical Engineering, UofA, and Professor Gérard Lachapelle, Dept of Geomatics Engineering, UofC. Mr. Stirling was partly financially supported by Professor Lachapelle’s iCORE grant.
The research results were published in Navigation in a paper titled “Evaluation of a new method of heading estimation for pedestrian DR using shoe mounted sensors” in 2005.
Dr. Fyfe and Mr. Stirling are both working at Dynastream Innovations Inc., a privately owned company positioned in the global marketplace. The company has world-leading expertise in the research and development of proprioceptive devices using inertial and wireless technology for consumer, commercial, medical and industrial markets.
