Earlier this Spring, NCCR Robotics opened an internal call for Grassroot Projects, aimed at PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to investigate novel and collaborative research ideas within the themes of the three Grand Challenges (Wearable Robotics, Rescue Robotics, Educational Robotics)
The proposals have been selected and three projects will be funded:
- Cellulo-Mori: Reconfigurable Modular Swarm Robots
(collaboration between the labs of Pierre Dillenbourg and Jamie Paik) - Restoring motor and SENSory functIons with a wearaBLE sensorized hand EXOskeleton (SENSIBLE-EXO)
(collaboration between the labs of Roger Gassert and Stanisa Raspopovic) - Tricking the brain to embody an extra limb: Third Arm Illusion in a self-touch protocol
(collaboration between the labs of Laura Marchal-Crespo and Silvestro Micera)
These projects will promote collaboration and will look to bridge the NCCR Robotics Grand Challenges.
