Projects
IOF Accelerator: Brubotics Human Robotics Lab Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The accelerator funding will expand the existing BruBotics research facilities, with focus on human augmentation and robotic rehabilitation. The funding will in particular increase BruBotics’ capabilities to respond to request from the Flemish industry
OZR Backup mandate: AIR-exo : Active physical interfaces for robotics exoskeletons Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Thermally activated multifunctionality in soft robotics KU Leuven
In current research, materials with constant material properties are regularly used to create soft robotic structures. As a result, the structure is non-adaptive and always exhibits the same behavior. In research to make existing materials multifunctional, 4D materials exhibit increasing potential. Unlike ordinary materials, their material properties may adapt to their surroundings, giving them an additional dimension. This PhD study will ...

Environmental perception using sonar with applications in mobile robotics and electric wheelchairs. University of Antwerp
Reservoir computing for robotics applications Ghent University
Reservoir Computing (RC) is a new concept in the area of recurrent neural networks which solves complex engineering problems in a fast, robust and elegant way. The aim of this research project is to make significant contributions in the area of mobile robotics (developing novel controllers using RC) as well as advancing the state-of-the-art in reservoir computing networks.
