AcRobotica

Our AcROBOTICA team works on projects related to exoskeletons and assistive robotics. 

This page collects our small an mediunsize projects on exoskeleton design and control, myography based control, assistive robotica and human-robot interaction control

RESEARCH Projects

Principal Investigator for the research project “ASSOLOIST: an ASSsistive exOskeLeton for mOtor Impaired SubjecTs ” (Un esoscheletro a controllo mioelettrico per assistenza alla disabilità motoria) funded by European Social Fund (Fondo Sociale Europeo). Duration: February 2024 – July 2005, 3 temporary researchers hired.

Principal Investigator for the research project “Design of an emg-controlled upper limb robotic orthosis for muscular weakness” (Progettazione di un’ortesi robotica per l’arto superiore con controllo mioelettrico e indirizzata a soggetti con debolezza muscolare) funded by European Social Fund (Fondo Sociale Europeo). Duration: October 2018 – October 2019, 4 temporary researchers hired.

Principal Investigator for the research project “Forecast” funded by the European Union, Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, through an Open Call issued by the EUROBENCH Project. The EUROBENCH project aims at creating the first benchmarking framework for robotic systems in Europe. The FORECAST project focuses on benchmarking force control algorithms for robotic locomotion applications such as exoskeletons and humanoids. Duration: March 2018 – September 2020, 6 temporary researchers hired.
