KUKA Innovation Award 2022 - Team Brubotics

Robots will play an increasingly important role in rehabilitation in the future, as rehabilitation robots can provide frequent and repetitive training as well as ergonomic working conditions for the therapist. New rehabilitation strategies are needed to improve the functional outcomes of robotic therapy. The team from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and imec is addressing these challenges by using the KUKA LBR Med in combination with a soft sensorized physical interface. Using integrated multimodal sensors, the team is able to add additional layers of safety and comfort and capture user intention to develop more flexible rehabilitation robots.
