The University of Siena is the coordinator of a new European project funded by Horizon Europe programme.

The project, entitled “Human-robot sensorimotor augmentation – wearable sensorimotor interfaces and supernumerary robotic limbs for humans with upper-limb disabilities” (HARIA) will study how to improve the conditions of people affected by stroke or spinal cord injury in order to improve their quality of life.

Thanks to the interaction made possible by wearable sensorimotor interfaces, it will be possible to establish intelligent connections between the human sensorimotor system and a system of supernumerary robotic arms.

 

 

 

 

 

The University of Siena (Department of Information engineering and mathematics) will coordinate an interdisciplinary consortium composed of seven European research organizations including the Italian Institute of Technology in Genoa, the Fondazione Santa Lucia in Rome and the German company Ottobock. Principal investigator is Prof. Domenico Prattichizzo.

HARIA will receive a total funding of 4.6 million euros.
