Two conference talks by staff and students of the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. Matthias Voß presented on "A virtual reality experimental setup to explore volitional control in lower limb prostheses" at the 58th Annual Conference of the German Society for ...

Last week, we had two seminar talks by two researchers. Mariangela Filosa shared insights about her work while visiting our chair via Erasmus and Alexandra Miller talked about the PhD journey so far, she is visiting us with a Fulbright grant. They talked about haptics, touch sensing, rehabilitati...

Is there a one-fits-all approach to model human-robot interaction? Philipp Beckerle discussed this question in Nele Rußwinkel's course at Universität zu Lübeck together with a group of very motivated students. His current answer is "no" but he thinks there are very promising methods to be inve...

Today, Philipp Beckerle and Yongxu Ren were at the physical kick-off meeting of our research project "Learning Predictive Maintenance of Fleets of Networked Devices" in Regensburg. They discussed on how to make use knowledge between systems and how to consider human expertise. They will work toge...

We got the news from Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation; we will receive support for the implementation of our Interactive Gait Assistance Experience Lab at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. The laboratory will be set up together with Anne Koelewijn, Sigrid Leyendecker, Claud...

Bernhard Egger visited our chair and gave an interesting talk on "Inverse Graphics and Perception with Generative Face Models". It was a good opportunity to broaden our perspective and discuss how we can bring together our research at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg and beyond.

Bayerische Forschungsstiftung granted our project on learning predictive maintenance of fleets of networked devices. The project is carried out in cooperation with the Chair of Multimedia Communication and Signal Processing, Sielaff GmbH & Co. KG Automatenbau Herrieden, and Dallmeier electron...

Philipp Beckerle war at interACTIVE HAPTICS Conference by GREWUS GmbH in Hamburg. Besides contributing a talk on Human Perception of Haptics, he enjoyed great discussions with a lot of haptics experts from industry and academia as well as a rental bike ride across the city on the way back from the c...

Philipp Beckerle, together with international researchers, has summarized an article with the latest findings in the field of robotics and together they have developed a framework for future research.

The paper "A hierarchical sensorimotor control framework for human-in-the-loop robotic hands" has been just published in the last issue of Science Robotics. It has been written by Philipp Beckerle together with Lucia Seminara, Strahinja Dosen, Fulvio Mastrogiovanni, Matteo Bianchi, Simon Watt, Thris...
