Biomechatronics & Human-Machine Control

Item 1 of 1

Mission

Biomechatronics focuses on the design of assistive devices (prosthetics, orthotics, neurostimulation) to enhance neuromuscular control. Deficiencies in neuromuscular control are diagnosed using system identification and neuromusculoskeletal modelling techniques. Extensive knowledge of human neuromuscular control is used for optimizing human-machine control.

Vision

Our vision is to keep the human in control where needed, through optimization of the control opportunities of the human by focussing on provided feedback and on the properties of the control input devices.

Research

Delft Biorobotics Lab (DBL)

We investigate safe and efficient robotic systems that dynamically interact with humans, such as prosthetic legs, robotic arms, or active rehabilitation environments. To enable these applications, we develop new types of compliant actuation principles and cooperative control algorithms.

Neuro Muscular Control Lab

The Delft Laboratory for NeuroMuscular Control (NMC Lab) investigates the human motor system from an engineering perspective. The Lab is multidisciplinary; active on the borderline between dynamic modelling / system identification and the clinical application.

Delft Institute of Prosthetics and Orthotics

Dedicated to advance prosthetic and orthotic systems, and to increase basic knowledge of human interactions with these systems. Research is conducted in close collaboration with rehabilitation centres to ensure clinical interactions and applications.

Computational Biomechanics Lab

Our lab's mission is to develop computational models and algorithms that enable the acquisition, analysis, and study of human and animal movement.
