    Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) is a viable solution for automating repetitive surgical subtasks due to its ability to learn complex behaviours in a dynamic environment. This task automation could lead to reduced surgeon’s ...
  • First steps towards accelerating the learning of using exoskeletons with immersive virtual reality 

    Rodríguez Fernández, Antonio; van den Berg, Alex; Lobo Prat, Joan; Font Llagunes, Josep Maria; Marchal-Crespo, Laura (2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Learning to use a lower-limb wearable exoskeleton for people with spinal cord injury is time-consuming and requires effort from the user and extensive therapists’ time. In this study, we aim at exploiting visual feedback ...
  • Effects of tendon compliance on the prediction of human squatting motion 

    Maceratesi, Filippo; Febrer Nafría, Miriam; Font Llagunes, Josep Maria (2022)
    Conference report
