Neuromechanics and Robotics Control Lab (NeuRoC Lab)

Description

We work on creating digital version of human to simulate, predict and develop new human-robots interaction with an emphasis on exoskeleton, prosthesis and wearable sensors.

Our goal is to increase quality of life of individuals with neural injury, prevent injury and promote healthy aging.

To increase visibility of our research and increase impact on society, we aim to release all developed software, research article and dataset open source/open access following FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse) principles.

 

 

KEY-WORDS
