Lower limb exoskeletons to promote mobility and for rehabilitation

The seminar by Mohamed Bouri, Senior Scientist at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), will take place on Monday 24th February at 3 p.m. in the main hall of the Sant'anna School headquarters. A live WebEx broadcast is also planned. 

Short bio

Dr. Mohamed Bouri is a Senior Scientist at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), where he leads the Rehabilitation and Assistive Robotics group (REHAssist) within the Biorobotics Laboratory. 

He earned his PhD in Industrial Automation in 1997 from INSA Lyon, France, and has been with EPFL since then. 

Dr. Bouri's research focuses on the development and control of advanced robotic systems for medical applications, particularly rehabilitation robotics and lower limb exoskeletons. 

Notable projects under his leadership include TWIICE, a lightweight exoskeleton enabling individuals with paraplegia to walk; AUTONOMYO, designed to assist gait for people with muscle weakness; and HiBSO, a hip orthosis aimed at aiding the elderly.

In addition to his research, Dr. Bouri serves as a lecturer in Robotics and Industrial Robotics at EPFL and holds prominent positions as a board member of the International Consortium on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR) and the Swiss Cobotics Competence Center (S3C)."
