Haptic Feedback for Soft-Tissue Robotic Surgery: from Training Palpation to Haptic Augmentation KU Leuven
Robotic minimally invasive surgery (RMIS) is a field in full development. Since evidence of the benefits of robotic approaches are surfacing the field, RMIS is receiving an increased interest by both academia and industry. There are nevertheless some major hurdles to this technology. Apart from the cost, a major impediment to its adoption is the long learning curve. As in RMIS the surgeon is decoupled from the patient and only interacts ...
Wearable haptic garments for improved human-machine interaction, accessibility and accelerated spatial task learning KU Leuven
Haptic Human-Robot Communication for Safer Collaboration in Industrial Environments KU Leuven
The student will collaborate with a research group active in the development of new robotic technologies to increase the level of safety and productivity in industrial contexts and in particular in logistics applications. The research project specifically concerns the development of hardware and software systems to allow a human operator to operate at a short distance from an industrial manipulator. The specific research activities concern ...

Sabbatical Martin Euwema: Constructive conflict in entrepreneurial families KU Leuven
An important and highly underexposed area of research concerns conflict in entrepreneurial families and family businesses (Alvarado, 2021; Caputo, 2018, 2019). Throughout my career I have worked on conflict, team dynamics and leadership. Themes that all come back strongly in the questions about conflicts in enterprising families. I am currently supervising several PhDs and a postdoc in this field, a large number of master's theses, and I work ...
