Robotics, Internet, cloud and mobile technologies for new applications in healthcare, agriculture, logistics and manufacturing assistance to citizens in daily life activities

The mission of the Wearable Robotics Laboratory is to invent, develop, and validate innovative wearable robots (also known as exoskeletons or active orthoses) to assist, rehabilitate, or enhance specific movements

We develop and integrate novel transducers, both synthetic and bio-hybrid. We implement neuromorphic systems, with natural spiking coding of tactile information

Coming soon

Neuroengineering is a novel discipline combining engineering including micro and nanotechnology, electrical and mechanical, and computer science with cellular, molecular, cognitive neuroscience

Identify enabling technologies and develop solutions for addressing the field of minimally invasive surgery, targeted therapy and diagnosis

Soft robotics is an interdisciplinary field in robotics that deals with robots built out of soft and deformable materials capable to actively and safely interact with humans and the environment

Development of wearable sensor systems to monitor human movement

The goal of this research area is to develop a new generation of robot companions, based on supportive technologies that aim to help citizens of all ages, from infants to the elderly
