Description

To engineer a novel robotic system that promotes walking in toddlers. This project will follow a novel approach of lower-limb robotic system based on emerging soft actuation technologies (SMA actuators) that seamlessly interacts with toodlers and helps them discover how to walk in a natural and adaptive way.

Discover2Walk (D2W) is a multidisciplinary project, combining tools and knowlege from robotics, neuroscience, and rehabilitation to accelerate implementation of emerging robotic technoly. The main focus of the proposal is to engineer a novel robotic system and to understand how robotic technologies can promote and modulate motor learning in the context of promotion of gait in toddlers with Cerebral Palsy.

In collaboration with CAR-CSIC and Hospital Niño Jesús.
