Prof. Dr. Roger Gassert

Area of Research

Description of Research Interest

We apply robotics, wearable sensor technologies and non-invasive neuroimaging to the exploration (sensorimotor control and neuromechanics), assessment (tools and objective metrics for motor and somatosensory function) and restoration (therapy and long-term assistance) of sensorimotor function following neuromuscular injury.

Special Expertise

Mechatronics design and system integration
Wearable sensors and algorithms for clinical assessments
(f)MRI-compatible robotics
Robot-assisted rehabilitation (therapy and assistance)
Assessment of somatosensory function
