Intuitive Natural Prosthesis UTilization (INPUT)

Start date: Feb 1, 2016, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

"INPUT will strive to make the control of complex upper limb prostheses simple, natural and to be used on a daily basis by amputees effortlessly after donning -"don and play". Currently, the most advanced routine prosthetic control on the market is more than 4 decades old, outdated and constitutes the bottle neck to introducing highly dexterous prostheses. The project builds on achievements reache ...

Spinal Exoskeletal Robot for Low Back Pain Prevention and Vocational Reintegration (SPEXOR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

Low-back pain is the leading cause of worker absenteeism after the common cold, accounting for 15% of sick leaves and hundreds of millions of lost work days annually [Walking 2.0, Nature, 2015].Most of today's robotic assistive devices are in forms of exoskeletons that augment the motion of legs and arms and neglect the role of spinal column in transferring load from the upper body and arms to the ...

REaching and grasping Training based on Robotic hybrid AssIstance for Neurological patients: End users Real life evaluation (RETRAINER)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

The aim of the RETRAINER proposal is to tune and validate advanced, robot-based technologies to facilitate recovery of arm and hand function in stroke survivors and to verify extensively the use of the system by end-users. RETRAINER will allow the users to use their own arm and hand as much and as soon as possible after the trauma so to achieve the best outcomes in rehabilitation. A continuous it ...

Advanced Myoelectric Control of Prosthetic Systems (AMYO)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

In spite of decades of research and many capabilities and potentials as well as incremental improvements, advanced human-maschine interfaces based on the electromyogram (EMG) still have a significant distance from professional and commercial applications. This is also and particularly true for myoelectric prosthetic devices. Available commercial myoelectric control systems for prostheses can only ...

Emergence of Cognitive Grasping through Emulation, Introspection, and Surprise (GRASP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

Compared to humans or primates, the ability of contemporary robotic hands is suprisingly limited, they can grasp only few objects in constricted poses with limited grasping postures and position. The aim of GRASP is the design of a cognitive system capable of performing tasks in open-ended environments, dealing with uncertainty and novel situations. We have decided to study the problem of object m ...
