In the laboratories of the University the experts of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society
30 January 2018 – Some of the main names in world robotics have come to Rome. The occasion was that of the inauguration of the new Executive Committee of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS), the most important and representative scientific society in the world in the field of robotics and automation, founded 30 years ago and which has over 13.000 members in over 120 countries around the world. The professor took it. Eugenio Guglielmelli, part of the same Executive and ordinary Committee of Bioengineering UCBM, who did the honors by hosting at UCBM scientists from several US, Asian and European universities.
It was a 'guided tour' of the laboratories of Neurophysiology and Neuroengineering of Man-Technology Interaction, of Biomedical Robotics and Biomicrosystems, and of Electronics for Sensory Systems, in which the researchers UCBM have illustrated the latest studies, such as a robot for upper limb rehabilitation and a bidirectional control system of a polyarticulated hand prosthesis: examples of how “three o'clock keyword of our University are research, education e healthcare”, Guglielmelli explained to the experts of the company that manages the main magazines in the field of robotics, automation and mechatronics.
In fact, one of the most important innovations of the reunion Italian RAS is precisely the launch of a new scientific journal that looks at the sectors of medical robotics and bionics, "in which theUniversità Campus Bio-Medico di Roma has been a protagonist for many years with advanced scientific research on robotic hands, neural interfaces, prosthetic systems and artificial organs as well as with applications on patients in our University Hospital”, said Guglielmelli.
Projects carried out together with scholars of the main international centers of excellence, including prof. Oskar Aszmann of the University Clinics in Vienna, plastic surgeon expert in the TMR clinical technique (targeted muscle reinnervation) used for the control of complete upper limb prostheses (shoulder, arm, hand), and prof. Klaus-Peter Hoffmann of the Fraunhofer Institut für Biomedizinische Technik (IBMT), bioengineer expert in neural interfaces in the field of prosthetics, who recently visited the University holding seminars on their recent results.
Among other things, the new magazine will be a product of interest not only for the bioengineering community but also for doctors who experiment with technologies deriving from research and who from March will be able to submit their works for the first issue of IEEE Transactions on Medical Robotics and Bionics whose release is scheduled for next September.
