Rehabilitation Robotics and Gait Lab: Addressing challenges in locomotion disorders affecting lower limbs
The Rehabilitation Robotics Lab serves as a dynamic interdisciplinary environment where advanced robotics addresses some of the most pressing challenges in physical rehabilitation with the focus on lower limbs. Our mission is to explore and develop innovative robotic solutions that assist individuals with movement impairments, particularly those affecting lower limbs. Our research approach is deeply rooted in the integration of multiple scientific domains. We combine knowledge from ergonomics, neuroscience, and human musculoskeletal modelling with core robotics disciplines such as control theory, robot dynamics, system modelling, and vision. This holistic methodology allows us to design robotic systems that are not only technically robust but also tailored to the physiological and psychological needs of patients.
