Background
Project RoboTrainer-One has its starting point in the University's research and innovation in the field of robot-assisted training and welfare technology.
Ìý
The aim of the project
The project will, through interdisciplinary cooperation, work with specialised training through robotics. The goal is that RoboTrainer-One will optimise rehabilitative and preventive training — for patients in hospitals to astronauts in space - literally!
By combining our expertise in robotic technology, training, physiology and machine/human interaction, we can develop a demo model, which largely takes the user as its point of departure.
º£½ÇÉçÇøÂ´s RoboTrainer technology can contribute to society by improving users´ quality of life; increase their self-reliance; reduce recovery times, avoid loss of muscle and bone mass. All in all, this means lower costs for health care budgets.
Ìý
The project outcome
To develop and verify a RoboTrainer demo model, which will be tested in hospitals and in space environments.
To build a long-term partnership and network for the development, deployment and commercialization of robotic technology in training
