WEARABLE ROBOTICS FOR SUSTAINABLE WELFARE - Lecture by Nicola Vitiello (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna)

Описание: Ageing population affects society welfare sustainability. The ageing of the population is one of the most critical challenges current industrialized societies will have to face in the next years, and threatens the sustainability of our social welfare. Among many diseases, gait disorders and upper-limb impairments are common and often devastating companions of ageing, leading to reductions in quality of life and increased mortality. This presentation will introduce the research activities carried out at The BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in the field of wearable robots for human movement assistance, rehabilitation and augmentation.
