Dedicated multisensory mechanisms in the brain represent peripersonal space (PPS), a limited portion of space immediately surrounding the body. Previous studies have illustrated the malleability of PPS representation through hand-object interaction, showin ...
Our brain-actuated wheelchair uses shared control to couple the user input with the contextual information about the surroundings in order to perform natural manoeuvres both safely and efficiently. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using our ...
Distributing control appropriately between man and machine is particularly pertinent to assistive technology. We use shared control techniques to augment wheelchair users’ capabilities, enabling them to safely perform precise manoeuvres. In this paper, we ...
L’espace urbain est en constante évolution au vu de nos modes de vie. Aujourd’hui, la ville se veut être à la fois un lieu de travail, de résidence, de services, ou encore, de loisirs. Les espaces intermédiaires du milieu urbain nommés « Thresholds » rende ...
raumatic or pathological brain lesions often result in motor disabilities that have strong personal and social effects. Assistive technologies can support this population, potentially improving their autonomy and promoting their participation in society. H ...
La formation des ingénieurs civils à l'EPFL suit un cursus complet avec le Bachelor, le Master et la possibilité de poursuivre par la thèse de doctorat. Le nombre d'étudiants abordant les études à Lausanne est en forte augmentation et dans les années à ven ...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have been successfully used to control assistive mobility devices (like a telepresence robot or an electric wheelchair) using only motor imagery. Importantly, disabled end-users are able to achieve similar performances as h ...

The prospect of controlling devices merely by the power of one’s thoughts is compelling, especially for assistive technology applications. In the accompanying video, we show how we have strived to push brain–computer interface (BCI) technology out of the l ...

Powered wheelchairs play a vital role in bringing independence to people who suffer from a wide range of mobility impairments. However, some wheelchair users struggle to drive safely and effectively. To address these issues, a few fully autonomous robotic s ...
