REHABILITATION ROBOTICS: BIOROBOTICS INSTITUTE RESEARCHER INVITED SPEAKER IN A SEMINAR SERIES IN USA

The GRASP seminar series (the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab is an inter-disciplinary research center at the University of Pennsylvania) aims to bring the world-wide rehabilitation robotics community together and provide a platform to overview and foster discussion about innovative rehabilitation strategies and motor recovery after neurological impairments.

Stefano Mazzoleni, a researcher of Sant’Anna School Biorobotics Institute and the Rehabilitation BioEngineering Lab coordinator, has been invited to give a talk on assistive and therapeutic rehabilitation robots at the University of Pennsylvania (March 21 and 23), Children’s National Hospital (Washington, March 26) and Columbia University (March 30).  

Mazzoleni will address an audience of graduate students and scientists from various fields related to rehabilitation robotics. Invited speakers are typically asked to give an overview of their research areas and highlight results from their work. As an expert in robot-assisted therapies, Mazzoleni will talk on the neural substrates that underlie motor recovery after neurological impairments (such as stroke and spinal cord injury), musculoskeletal complications and cardiovascular diseases.
