🤖🦾The new RoboSAPIENS EU research project  will enable robots to adapt to unforeseen events and new scenarios when they complete automated tasks in the future. The project focuses on enhancing the adaptability and safety of robots using #AI and is led by Professor Peter Gorm Larsen. He explains: “We see great benefits if robots can adapt to conditions, learn from their surroundings and then change their behaviour to better suit the task, all the while maintaining or even increasing their expected performance and remaining as safe and robust as before.” The #RoboSAPIENS project is a collaborative research project between Danish Technological Institute, University of Antwerp, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), University of York, PAL Robotics, Fraunhofer IFF, ISDI Accelerator, Simula Research Laboratory and Aarhus University. The project is funded by #HorizonEurope with a EUR 7.5 million grant. Other than Peter Gorm Larsen, the participating project team members from our department are Jalil Boudjadar, Cláudio Gomes, Lukas Esterle, Ane Nykjær Lemvik, Mirgita Frasheri, Morten Haahr Kristensen, Thomas Wright and Carlos Ignacio Isasa Martín.

We are presenting today a new Multimodal Haptic Interface for Walker-Assisted Navigation at #IROS2024, 14:00-15:00, Paper TuPIT2.4 - #AssistiveRobotics https://lnkd.in/eZTHWUZR This study investigates the efficacy of a haptic interface, aiming to offer the walking frame users accurate, intuitive, and easily understandable directional cues. The research introduces a novel haptic feedback interface incorporated into a walking frame to enhance navigation assistance. The haptic handle encompasses three distinct haptic feedback modalities: vibration, skin stretch, and combined feedback. Ten participants, all in good health, engaged with the haptic handle for navigation. Across all three haptic feedback methods, 60% of participants found the combined feedback to be the most effective, while 40% favoured the vibration feedback; none selected the skin-stretch feedback. Comparative analysis revealed significant disparities between vibration and combined input regarding velocity (p-value: 0.04). These findings emphasize the haptic handle's capacity to give users an instinctive perception of directional cues, thus offering a promising avenue for assistive navigation.

Robotics VS navigation: What is the best? We will try to answer to this question during the debates at the EUROSPINE-EANS Spring Summit in Prague

📣 Breaking! 🌟 I am excited to announce that our latest work: "Development of a ML-Control Strategy for a Wrist Exoskeleton based on EMG and Force measurements with Sensor Strategy Optimisation" has been accepted and will be presented at the IEEE RAS EMBS 10th International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob 2024), in Heidelberg, Germany, on September 1-4. Some notes: 💬📊 - Abstract: << The aim of this paper is to infer the development of a control and sensor strategy for an industrial wearable wrist exoskeleton through preliminary classification and prediction of workers’ actions gathered in a real working environment. The effort intensity, correlated with the exerted force, and sensor strategy optimization are considered and evaluated for design purposes. In this paper, an EMG-based wrist motion classification and a force prediction models are presented based on measurements taken on six healthy subjects in a manufacturing plant. A wrist motion pattern recognition algorithm has been developed on top of surface EMG data measured through an 8-channel commercially available sensor (Myo Armband). Moreover, a force regression model has been built based upon wrist force measurements detected by using a commercial handheld dynamometer (Vernier GoDirect Hand Dynamometer). This control strategy lays the basis for a more complex architecture which will be designed to control an active wrist exoskeleton for industrial applications, simplifying its design, costs and data process by adopting as few sensors and electronic components as possible while maintaining sufficient reliability and accuracy to provide adequate assistance >>. https://lnkd.in/d6YasJep 🧑🎥 - The live Poster Session 1: September 2 (Mon) - Session Time: 3:40 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. 🗣 Let's meet there to talk about wearable technologies and exoskeletons!

ACMIT at the European Robotics Forum 2024 The European Robotics Forum (ERF) will take place from March 13th to 15th, 2024 at the Convention Centre in Rimini, Italy. The event brought together leading experts from science and industry at international level with the presence of the major European companies in the field of robotics. The groundbreaking workshop titled "Translational Challenges of Soft Robotics in Medical Applications" will be organized by Arianna Menciassi and Linda Paternò from Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, and Gernot Kronreif from ACMIT at 8:30 a.m. on 15th March, in the "Marina" room of the Palacongressi di Rimini as part of the prestigious ERF 2024 event. The aim of this workshop is to explore scientific advances and translation challenges in soft robotics for medical applications. The search for compliant machines that can safely interact with the human body is increasingly required in medical applications. Significant research efforts in robotics have been directed toward the development of novel classes of devices allowed by the introduction of the soft robotics approach. The commercialization of such systems on the market remains virtually non-existent. Therefore, additional endeavours are imperative to develop soft robots that are effective enough to facilitate clinical translation. This workshop is supported by the EU Horizon funded Project MAPWORMS - Mimicking Adaptation and Plasticity in WORMS.
