Lower limb exoskeletons to promote mobility and for rehabilitation

Lunedì 24 febbraio alle ore 15, presso l’aula Magna della sede centrale della Scuola Sant’Anna (piazza Martiri delle Libertà 33, Pisa), è in programma il seminario 'Lower limb exoskeletons to promote mobility and for rehabilitation' tenuto da Mohamed Bouri, Senior Scientist presso l’École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL di Losanna). Prevista anche la diretta streaming via WebEx.

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)."
