We are proud to announce that our research assistant Annina Brunner's publication titled "Effect of a passive shoulder support exoskeleton on fatigue during working with arms over shoulder level" has been awarded the Bronze Best Application Paper Award at the MESROB 2023 conference in Craiova.

We are delighted to welcome the RELab members from Singapore-ETH Centre, as well as our esteemed collaborator, Victoria Peterson from Argentina in Zurich. It was a truly rewarding experience for all of us, as we not only had the opportunity to explore the lab venues in Zurich but also engaged in meaningful interactions and explored each other's projects. Thanks a lot for visiting us!

As part of our research on assistive technology, we have been exploring various options to trigger the motion of our robotic hand orthosis. These different "intention detection strategies" are one of the key tailoring options to enable the adaptation of the device to the individual user’s needs, wishes, and capabilities.

We partnered with FHT Singapore-ETH Centre and Clinica Hildebrand Centro di riabilitazione Brissago to host the "Towards a Continuum of Robot-Assisted Therapy (TCRT)" summer school in Brissago, Switzerland. This interdisciplinary event brings together clinicians, health scientists, and engineers to explore technology-assisted rehabilitation.

Alexandra Retevoi started her Ph.D. at RELab in May 2023. With a background in Computer Science (B.Sc.) and Biomedical Computing (M.Sc.), her research focus is on mobile software applications for unsupervised therapy and remote health interventions in the context of stroke rehabilitation.
