Webinar – 9th June – 2pm CEST – “The artificial substitution of missing hands“

/0 Comments/in /by

Our next free webinar will take place on Zoom on June 9th at 2pm CEST. Join us for an enthralling talk on “Artificial substitution of missing hands”!

“The replacement of a missing hand by a prosthesis is one of the most fascinating challenges in rehabilitation engineering. For decades, science and engineering have tried to match the sensory and motor features of the human body, designing limbs aiming at replicating the shape and functionality of the natural counterparts. Building such incredible devices and making them wearable and intuitively controllable by people is the goal of prosthetics research.

This talk aims at providing an overview of past and present artificial prosthetic hands developed and at discussing the main design issues.”

Presentation by Dr. Marco Controzzi (Assistant Professor at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) and Dr. Francesco Clemente (Managing Director at Prensilia SRL, Affiliate Professional at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna

/0 Comments/in /by

The B-CRATOs team is very excited to announce the upcoming Summer School “Next Generation Wireless Brain Machine Interface Contact“, which will be organized in Trondheim, Norway, on September 27-29 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)!

This summer school will give you an overview of the latest trends in wireless technology for brain-machine interfaces, covering topics such as wireless power transmission, signal processing, and communication protocols, robotics, E-skin, and brain computer interface.
The participants will gain hands-on experience in designing and implementing wireless brain-machine interfaces, and will have the opportunity to interact with leading experts in the field.

We will put all the information very soon on a dedicated page. In the meantime, you can already save the date and share the great news with your network!

 

 

Newsletter 2 – progresses and upcoming challenges!

/0 Comments/in /by

We just published the second B-CRATOS newsletter! Through a few lines (or…a long page), you can catch up with the big news and events of the past few months. We share our progress made, step by step, on the project.

In an interview, Robin Augustine, Project Coordinator, and Paul Wanda, WP leader, take a look back on the first two years of the project and question the present and the future: what are the upcoming challenges? What’s awaiting B-CRATOS teams?

As we have so much to tell you since our last newsletter, we couldn’t keep for ourselves the joy of meeting in real, which we did already twice (in Sweden and Italy), sharing not only pizzas but also fruitful discussions and live improvements on the project.

Then, we decided to tell you more about our team members, you can check their interviews to learn more about them and how they are involved in B-CRATOS.

You’ll be able to learn more about their direct work scrolling among the past webinars, that are all available online. And if you are interested in hand prostheses, you can already add to your agenda the next webinar with Dr. Marco Controzzi, in June.

Last but not least, we’ve another great news: we’re organizing a summer school in Norway, in September! We will put the programme online in the coming time, so make sure to follow us, so you don’t miss any updates!
