Prof. Dr. Claudio Castellini
Vita
I am a researcher in medical robotics, focussing on rehabilitation and assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces and interaction and applied machine learning.
In 1998 I obtained a degree in Electronic (Biomedical) Engineerings from the University of Genoa, then in 2005 a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence (Mathematical Logic) from the School of Informatics of the University of Edinburgh. I then turned my attention to robotics for the disabled, and spent 4.5 years as a post-doctoral fellow at the Advanced Robotics Laboratory of the University of Genoa.
In 2009, then, I landed at the German Aerospace Center where, as of now, I am a senior researcher at the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics.
Finally (so far), in 2021 I have been appointed full professor of Assistive Intelligent Robotics at the Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany.
As of now, I have (co)authored some 150 scientific papers, I am involved in a few research projects and I have served, or am currently serving, for some international editorial boards and committees.
Programmpunkte
Orthopädietechnische Hilfsmittel (Prothesen, Exoskelette, Reha-Roboter usw.) sollen den zunehmenden Pflege- und Rehabilitationsbedarf von Patienten mit motorischen Störungen lindern, sind aber in den Kliniken noch nicht Standard. Co-Adaptation ist der Schlüssel zur Verbesserung ihrer Akzeptanz und Effektivität. Die Teilnehmenden lernen die Wirksamkeit von Messung und Förderung der wechselseitigen Anpassung von Benutzer und Roboter durch Absichtserkennung, somatosensorisches Feedback und strukturierte Mensch-Roboter-Interaktion kennen.
