Concept

During this five-day summer school, we want to provide participants with an in-depth view of the main concepts and experimental tools in rehabilitation robotics. A tour of the clinic and interaction with medical staff and patients, will help understand the motivation and requirements for application. Lectures by professors from SJTU, ETH Zurich, EPFL, the University of Bern and the University of Basel will give you insight into current research and developments in the field. Working on a project together in small groups will allow you to interact with peers and to develop new ideas together.
