Abstract

Talk Title: "Brain-Machine Interface Systems for Interacting with Robotic Exoskeletons"

Abstract: This talk will explain how Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) systems can be used for commanding robotic exoskeletons. During the talk, several non-invasive BMIs that have been developed at Miguel Hernandez University of Elche (Spain) to interact with exoskeletons will be described. The first part of the talk will focus on introducing BMI systems. In the second part, two BMIs that allow controlling an upper limb exoskeleton will be explained. Finally, several BMIs that have been developed for commanding lower-limb exoskeletons will be described.

Biography: Jose Maria Azorin Poveda is the Director of the Brain-Machine Interface Systems Lab and Full Professor of the Systems Engineering and Automation Department at Miguel Hernández University of Elche (Spain). In addition, he is the Director of the International Affiliate BRAIN (Building Reliable Advances and Innovation in Neurotechnology) Site at UMH, which is the only site of the BRAIN center in Europe (industry-university collaborative research center funded by National Science Foundation from USA). He holds a M.Sc in Computer Science from the University of Alicante (1997, Spain) and a Ph.D. from Miguel Hernández University of Elche (Award for the Best Thesis of the Department) (2003, Spain). He has been a visiting professor at the University of Houston (USA) and at Imperial College London (United Kingdom). His current research interests are Brain-Machine Interfaces, Neurorobotics and Rehabilitation Robotics. Over the last  years, his research has been funded by prestigious grants from the European Union, other international government agencies, and Spain. He has been the PI of more than 20 research projects, and his research has resulted in more than 200 technical papers and 3 patents. Currently, he is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Systems Council.
