Abstract

As demonstrated by the studies of human motor control, somatosensory feedback is critically important for movement planning and execution. The lack of feedback, therefore, has a profound impact on the performance of affected persons. In this talk, we will present methods and technologies that are developed in our group to restore missing somatosensory feedback in different applications, from providing feedback to the users of robotic prostheses to restoring tactile sensations in virtual reality and telemanipulation. We will show how multichannel electro- and vibrotactile stimulation can be used to elicit spatially distributed sensations over different body parts as well as how different feedback variables can be intuitively encoded into such sensations. We will then demonstrate the use of this approach to provide artificial extero- and proprioceptive feedback, report the results of experimental studies investigating the effectiveness of feedback restoration, and discuss the future development of these technologies.

Biography

Strahinja Dosen is a Full Professor in Rehab Robotics at the Department of Health Science and Technology (HST), Aalborg University (AAU), Denmark, where he leads a research group on Neurorehabilitation Systems. He received the Diploma of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and the M.Sc. degree in Biomedical Engineering in 2000 and 2004, respectively, from the Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad, Serbia, and the Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from the Center for Sensory-Motor Interaction (SMI), Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark, in 2009. Until 2017, he was working as a Research Scientist at the Institute for Neurorehabilitation Systems, University Medical Center Gottingen, Germany, and then as an Associate Professor at the Department of Health Science and Technology (HST), Aalborg University (AAU), Denmark. Since 2017, he has been a Full Professor in the same Dept. and a principal investigator for AAU and HST in several EU (Tactility, Wearplex, Sixthsense, and SimBionics) and nationally (Robin, Remap and Climb) funded projects. He has published more than 100 manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. His main research interests are the closed-loop control of movements and assistive systems, including the development of methods and technologies for human-machine interfacing, control of bionic limbs and rehabilitation robotics, artificial sensory feedback, haptics, and functional electrical stimulation.
