VUB – Human-Centred Robotics

Le Grand Huit

Discover robots designed to interact with people and see how we can use them in rehabilitation and prosthetics.

  • Activity 1 – Motors and Gearboxes
    Feel the effect of gearbox design in robotics designed for human interaction. Spin gears and feel the difference in drivetrain technologies.
    > FR-NL-EN / Open to all
    > Friday - No Booking in advance required - Running continuously – Max 10 pupils per session
    > Weekend – Running continuously

  • Activity 2 – Sensorial Interfaces
    Learn about different ways we can measure the body to control robots. Measure the pressure you exert on an exoskeleton and use ultrasound to estimate your muscle activity.
