This workshop explores the frontier between human neuro-mechanics and robotic embodiment, bringing together neuroscience, biomechanics, robotics, and bioengineering. Its focus is on understanding how the recent advances in modelling the human neuromuscular system (NMS) to understand movement can help inspire robots that move with similar adaptability and intelligence.

The scope is twofold: advancing models of neuromuscular control to deepen our understanding of human movement, and translating these insights into muscle-driven and biohybrid robotic systems. To reflect this, the workshop is organized into two complementary tracks: human neuromuscular understanding and interfaces, and neuro-muscular robotics platforms.

By bridging neural decoding, musculoskeletal modeling, reinforcement learning, and biohybrid actuation, the program highlights how progress in one field can accelerate innovation in the other. A diverse group of speakers, from pioneers in bionic reconstruction to leaders in biohybrid engineering, will share their perspectives across these tracks.

Alongside invited talks, the workshop features live demonstrations of software and hardware, posters, and a roundtable to stimulate cross-fertilization. The aim is to chart new directions for human-machine interfaces and digital-biological integration, fostering collaborations that move beyond disciplinary boundaries.
