BioRobotics
The BioRobotics Group has been created with the aim of integrating several disciplines to give answer and technical solutions to questions about the human physical and cognitive disabilities with a nervous system’s nature. The group is enclosed under the Applied Robotics unit of Centro de Automática y Robótica (CAR), one of the institutes of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC).
Our main goal is to perform research activities that pursue to generate new knowledge and technological solutions oriented to understand and control human biological systems and their environmental interactions. For this purpose, body structures and nervous central and peripheral systems’ functions are evaluated looking for characterizing, diagnosing and predicting neurological conditions that affect motor system and/or cognitive abilities and developing suitable devices or systems that aid to overcome or improve the target condition.
The main research lines of this group are the following: Rehabilitation & Assistive Robotics, Sensorimor interfaces, Assessment & Benchmarking and Digital & Physical models. We are a multidisciplinary group combining knowledge from the areas of Robotics and Computer Science, biological signal acquisition and processing, Biomechanics, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Neuroscience and others. All of these areas are complemented with knowledge coming from clinical, neurological and psychological contexts giving arise to a multidisciplinary research and development.
