BioRob Workshop 1st September

Neuromusculoskeletal Twins

Lab vs. Clinical Reality

A joined workshop with the MyoSuite Team

This full-day workshop will delve into the current and future applications of human digital twins in clinical settings and human-robot interaction, aiming to unlock their potential. While experimental studies are crucial, progress often faces hurdles due to medical device regulations and ethical considerations, slowing down the development of new methods with clinical applications in rehabilitation and the design of innovative assistive devices and controllers. However, the landscape is evolving with the emergence of new open-source and proprietary biomechanical simulation frameworks that boast improved model complexity, movement versatility, and computational efficiency. Moreover, there's a growing community spanning various research and application fields.

This workshop will provide a platform for experts in assistive robotics, clinical rehabilitation, biomechanics, and industry to share their insights. Structured as a series of invited talks and panel discussions, it will integrate perspectives from clinical application, robotics, and musculoskeletal modeling. Additionally, alongside the speakers and discussion rounds, we will host a poster session dedicated to discussing modeling research at all stages of development. We'll focus on identifying user needs and exploring critical last-mile challenges in making human digital twins impactful in reality.
