Personalizing Assistive Robots: A Reconfigurable and Adaptable Shared-autonomy Framework and its Applications KU Leuven
The quality of life of people with motor impairments, often caused by spinal cord injuries, is severely reduced. Assistive robotic devices offer an opportunity to improve the quality of life of these people and help them regain a certain level of independence. A completely autonomous solution is often not desired since people have a need to keep their remaining autonomy or recover some of their lost autonomy, while feeling in control as much ...
Realtime Estimation and Prediction of Kinematics, Dynamics and Events for Assistive Robotic Devices: Contributions towards Assistance-as-needed KU Leuven
This PhD research focuses on the development of theories and software for assistive robot technology. The targeted audience are people that are weakened (e.g. by age, by a muscle disease, by a stroke, …) but are still able to move their limbs. The weakness however results in a decrease in mobility, which can lead to difficulties for the daily tasks.
The goal of the research is to investigate how robotic devices can assist these people ...

Bio-impedance Sensor Technology for Robot-Assisted Vitreo-retinal Surgery KU Leuven
At present, vitreoretinal surgery is performed purely manually by highly specialized, welltrained surgeons. The surgeons need superior handeye coordination and precise positioning. When applying even small forces tangential to the surface of the eye, e.g. by means of the inserted instruments, the eye rotates and a different part of the eye becomes visible under the microscope. Microsurgeons are trained to pivot the instruments around the ...
