WELCOME TO NATURAL BIONICS
Natural BionicS is an international collaboration of European researchers working together with the aim of creating fully integrated, symbiotic replacements for human limbs with robotic parts that the user will feel and command as a part of their own body.
Over the past few years, our team has already managed to achieve several breakthrough developments in bioengineering, surgery and soft robotics. Our joint expertise will now help turn these research endeavors into actual working applications. Join us on our journey to a world where Bionics become truly Natural.
Experimental Setup to Test Soft Feet
An Experimental Setup to Test Obstacle-dealing Capabilities of Prosthetic Feet We realised an experimental setup to test prosthetic feet with lower-limb prosthetic users, and we validated it. We presented this work in a paper that has been accepted at the next 2023...
Neural Information for Multi-Synergistic Hands
First evaluation of postural synergies in connection to motor neuron synergies for myoelectric prosthetic control Patricia Capsi Morales (from IIT) developed a framework at ICL during her PhD studies for the control of a multi-synergistic hand through neuroscientific...
Experimental Activities
First integration between the robotic and interfacing group The past year, we completed the first integration between the robotic and interfacing group. This work investigated the existence of motor neuron synergies and their potential as sources for myoelectric...
