TUM MIRMI neurorobotics scholar Enrica Tricomi establishes new research group

Professor Enrica Tricomi of TUM MIRMI has established a new research group focused on neurorobotics and intelligent assistance, studying how wearable robots can understand and adapt to their users. She focuses on hybrid systems combining robotics with neuromodulation, acting on nerves and muscles through mechanical assistance and electrical or sensory stimulation to provide immediate movement assistance and help people with movement disorders (such as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease) recover motor function over the long term. The lab is recruiting researchers with backgrounds in robotics, mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineering, as well as neuroscience and rehabilitation.
