Our new open-access article Omnidirectional endpoint force control through Functional Electrical Stimulation by Sierotowicz et al. was published in Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express. We present the MyoCeption, a wearable surface Functional Electrical Stimulation device able to control ...

Mr. Francesco Vichi, currently a M.Sc. student at Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa (Italy) will be spending one month at AIROB, on a scientific cooperation with the Neurorobotic Touch Laboratory headed by Prof. Calogero Oddo. We will be exploring interesting applications of tactile sensing base...

AIROB team starts designing hybrid solutions combining tendon-driven exosuits and Functional Electrical Stimulation for the rehabilitation of paretic patients.

At last, here is a somewhat detailed video interview appearing on the website of MEDICA, possibly the largest and most interesting trade fair for medical technology. In the interview, introduced by Dr. Matthias Ponfick of the Hospital for Spinal Cord Injuries in Rummelsberg and Claudio Castellini...

An interview on the basics of myoelectric prostheses and the EU-funded project IntelliMan has now been published in the magazine Klinik Management Aktuell (KMA). In this interview featuring Prof. Claudio Castellini and Fabio Egle, the basic principles of myoelectric prostheses, current comfort and a...

A new Ph.D. position is now open at the AIROB Lab! The position is directly funded by the Free State of Bavaria and it's an open topic position, meaning that the Ph.D. topic has not yet been precisely defined. Broadly speaking, however, your Ph.D. will revolve around merging intent detection and exo...

About a project we are still finishing at the DLR, Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, phantom pain, prosthetic control, and much more going on in Rehabilitation and Assistive Robotics. An instructional clip filmed at Claudio's second affiliation, including Mr. Markus Nowak, Ms. Mathilde Conn...

The AIROB lab seminar "Biosignals in Rehabilitation Robotics" (SemBRR) was evaluated in the Top 3 of all seminars in SS22 at TechFak @FAU. The overall rating was 1.18. Especially high ratings were given in the categories: 4. Structure of the course (1.0) and 5. Implementation of the course (1.0). ...

Lifting a glass, clenching a fist, typing a phone number with the index finger - state-of-the-art robotic hands can already do amazing things with the help of biomedical technology. However, things that work in the laboratory often encounter stumbling blocks when put to practice in daily life. Our t...

Mohammad Eid is starting to work on his Master's thesis on Functional Electrical Stimulation of the hand at the AIROB lab. Mohammad Eid received the B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (5-Year engineering program) in 2019 from German Jordanian University (GJU), Amman, Jordan. As a part of his bachel...
