September European Autumn Conference Trip

In September, Tomislav, Jarvis and Jon travelled to Heidelberg to attend Biorob. Biorob is a biennial International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics. This was a fantastic chance to see developments in human-robot interaction and exoskeletons while discovering and catching up with many teams working in our field.

Of our team Jarvis presented his work on using skin stretch devices to transmit information through haptics while Tomislav presented his and Mingrui’s work on the uniqueness of gait patterns across different walking conditions. Jon also co-organised a workshop on joint interaction (both between humans and between humans and robots).

After Biorob, Jon also presented his work on training people to perform trimanual coordination at the Symposium on human interfacing and augmentation held at Imperial College London.
