Abstract
The scope of proposal ¨Analysis and synthesis of movement in man and machine¨ is centered arround analysis and generation of movement in human, as well as measurement and control of movement in robots. The main activity will be developments in the field of rehabilitation and industry, clinical validation of modern mechatronic solutions for diagnostic and training of functional movements. Present is awareness for using most advanced technologies. The attention will be directed in devices and approaches, in oppening of new opportunities that are friendly for user and everyday use. Technologies in this proposal include mainly construction and use of haptic and industrial robots. Objective measurements of movement and sensory integratoin are important aspects of prospective research, including technical and physiological sensors. Implemeted enviroments of robot or human will be real or virtual, rehabilitation training or industrial robot in real environment, as well as human exercise by exploiting virtual reality enviroments and offline programming in real industrial robots. Envisaged research methods in the framework of measuring functional state of the user and motor exercise are expanding to the fields of motor function measurement, devices for training and telerehabilitation; to the fields of wearable sensors and activity recognition; to the fields of preterm newborns and children; and in the fields of inteligent robots for patient supervision. The second area of planned research methods are applications of robots and measurements in the industry, focusing in two directions: sophisticated robot applications, measurements and product quality assurance; and laser distance measurements in connection with robots. The topics of this research program are explicitly mentioned in two core themes or 'pillars' of H2020 programmes „Industrial leadership” - „Robotics”, as well as „Societal challenges” - „Personalising health and care”. The goal of research team is creation of new fundamental and application knowledge in electrical engineering science. The mission is knowledge transfer from the university to the business sector and other institutions, i.e. to improve the quality of life in the field of rehabilitation engineering or robotics. The vision of the research team is based on the international openness, co-operation on equal basis with eminent EU groups (ETH, TUM) and worldwide. The group is internationally recognized in the areas of robotics research, robotic applications, rehabilitation and clinical work.
Significance for science
The industry and the health services, including rehabilitation, require innovative high-tech solutions, direct transfer of successful approaches from other fields and a synergy of effective methods. The Ljubljana rehabilitation engineering team has traditionally maintained a strong connection between the university, clinics and industry in the field of rehabilitation technology. This incubator has been developing for the last fifty years and has resulted in new basic knowledge, as well as the application of this knowledge to new products and methods. In the future, we wish to maintain this advantage over other research centres around the EU. One of the program group's most important characteristics is larger financing from sources, other than Slovenian national funds. The most important financing sources are European and industrial projects, having this way strong influence on the direction of our research program. Our long-lasting participation in FP5, FP6, FP7 and now H2020 has demonstrated our excellent standing in the international scientific community. Furthermore, we have successfully met the needs of our industrial partners and transferred technology into practice. In the last period, we successfully published numerous scientific papers, obtained several patents and published five books at the acclaimed publisher Springer. Our future main focus will be on cutting-edge technologies, development in rehabilitation and industrial applications, and clinical assessment of modern mechatronic technologies for diagnosis and training of functional movements. Our attention will be focused on new devices and methods that are user-friendly and suitable for everyday use. The topics of this research program »Analysis and synthesis of movement in man and machine« are explicitly mentioned in two core themes or 'pillars' of H2020 programmes. Within core theme „Industrial leadership”, one of the ICT areas is „Robotics”, covering industrial and service robotics. This is in accordance with our interdisciplinary work developed within F6 and FP7, rehabilitation and assistive robotics. Second core theme „Societal challenges”, within „Personalising health and care” directly mentions our activities: measurements and robots to monitor health and to support older persons to remain active and healthy. The program's international attractiveness is reflected in four recently submitted applications for the first H2020 calls: CYBERLEG++ (exoskeleton and prosthesis), Tele-UP-CAT (sensors for children), X-FARM (robotics and sensors in agriculture) and WeBuilderS (exoskeleton for construction workers) as well as in the international proposals LINarm++ (rehabilitation device) and SloFlanders (control of a bionic prosthesis). The relevance of our activities is evident through our membership in the Public Private Partneship (PPP) platform euRobotics. The Multi-Annual Roadmap (MAR) and Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) documents of this group are direct source for the content of the H2020 ICT-23-2014 and ICT-24-2015 calls. Our advanced research is fundamentally multidisciplinary and connected with the most prominent groups in the EU. It comprises cooperation with both industrial and clinical partners as well as with both Slovenian and European partnership.
Significance for the country
Direct relevance of the program The group cultivates a long tradition of high quality research, the transfer of products in the industrial and rehabilitation environment. The current research activities of the group are tied to the international research environment, receiving positive feedback in peer-reviewed international publications, industrial relations and international projects. Our key Slovenian industrial partners Eta Cerkno, Motoman, ABB and Optotek create most of its income on foreign markets. We have also succeeded to build up a network of links with foreign companies willing to invest in the development of Slovenian "start-up" companies. Companies can thus benefit from our expertise and research achievements and can built our knowledge into their products, methodologies and services, which contributes to higher quality, higher productivity and thus to direct financial impact. In the period ahead we intend to work in same manner, thereby directly and indirectly support the economic development of our country and the development of advanced technologies and tools for medical rehabilitation. The new R&D program of the European Union "Horizon 2020" lists Robotics as one of the priority areas within the information and communication technologies, which is important for the future development of EU member states in terms of economic development and in terms of significant social changes due to the aging population. Thus, it is anticipated that in the future a new market of service robots for industrial and domestic use will arise, where important areas are assistive technologies for persons with physical disabilities and medical devices for training of movements. It is important to note, that a future robotic technologies will have to have the ability to learn and to adapt to the user, which is also one of the key focuses of this proposal. Indirect relevance of the program Significance of the program of the research group is demonstrated at different levels. Our activity is internationally recognized and demonstrated through FP4 - FP7 projects and in cooperation with industry and at the same time we transfer experiences in the local environment to undergraduate and graduate students attending our study programs, partner institutions, and industry partners. The study program Robotics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UL offers a wide range of knowledge and facilitates individual and group study. Quality is ensured through international collaboration and two-way mobility of students and academic staff with renowned institutions. Our graduates and doctoral degree graduates are sought in domestic companies and welcomed abroad. Indirect relevance for society is also shown through the popularization activities for young people, e.g. student industrial robotics workshops DIR, the Days of Electrical Engineering in Bistra, summer schools, and the organization of international conferences in Slovenia and involvement in the organization abroad.
