"Threshold" - Vivre sur la Schnyder-Areal à Bienne
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 ...
2020The wheelchair as a full-body tool extending the peripersonal space
Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Elisa Canzoneri
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 ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2015Multidisciplinary design of suitable assistive technologies for motor disabilities in Colombia
Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano
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 ...
2014La formation des ingénieurs civils à l'EPFL: une croissance prometteuse
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 ...
2013Brain-Actuated Assistive Mobility For Disabled End-User
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Luca Tonin, Tom Edward Carlson
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 ...
De Gruyter2013Driving a BCI Wheelchair: A Patient Case Study
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Robert Leeb, Tom Edward Carlson, Guillaume Monnard
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 ...
2012The Birth of the Brain–Controlled Wheelchair
José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Robert Leeb, Tom Edward Carlson
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 ...
2012Collaborative Control Mechanisms for an Intelligent Robotic Wheelchair
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 ...
Imperial College London2010Collaborative control in human wheelchair interaction reduces the need for dexterity in precise manoeuvres
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 ...
