Research
human-robot interaction, haptic communication, neurorehabilitation
Interests
I want to develop assistive multimodal robotic systems and communication strategies with a focus on human users by considering and integrating factors from robotics, clinical rehabilitation and neuroscience. My human-centred robotics approach is based on experimental and data-driven methods to quantify user’s ability and develop new technologies. I want to develop user-friendly systems providing users optimal perception, learning and performance in various applications.Publications
