We're delighted to share that Prof. Dr. Alessandro Del Vecchio, the head of our N-squared Lab at FAU, has secured a significant 1.6 million euros in funding from the German Research Foundation (DFG) for his exciting Emmy Noether project, DeMOTUS! What's DeMOTUS all about? Prof. Del Vecchio and hi...

We congratulate Vlad Cnejevici on completing his master's thesis titled "Comparative Analysis and Optimization of AI models for Hand Movement Estimation using HD-sEMG"! Estimating the hand position reliably from surface Electromyography signals is of utmost importance to any prosthesis or exoskel...

Congratulations to Maria Tischer on the successful completion of her Bachelor's Thesis titled "EMGSuite - Framework Foundation for EMG driven bionic limb prosthesis"! Maria's thesis focused on optimizing motor activations for an anthropomorphic bionic finger, aiming to replicate the movement of a...

Congratulations to Niklas Pollak for successfully completing his Bachelor's Thesis in collaboration with the Chair of Computer Science 3 - Computer Architecture on the topic of "Optimization and Evaluation of a Neural Network on a Heterogeneous Embedded Computer Architecture for Use in Neuromuscular...

Congratulations to Patricia Bayer on completing her Master's Thesis on the topic of the "Motor Unit Behavior in Spinal Cord Injury - Analysis of spared neural activity and training effects on hand muscles"! In her master’s thesis, Patricia analyzed high-density surface EMG data from spinal cord i...

Congratulations to Dominik Braun on completing hisMaster's Thesis on the topic of the "Optimization of a Neural Interface Embedded in a Graphical User Interface to Control Assistive Devices"! Dominik's work focused on optimizing and embedding a Neural Interface using real-time decomposition of HD...

Congratulations to Johanna Happold for completing her master thesis in our lab. In her thesis she investigated the dimensionality of synaptic input to motor neurons.

Congratulations to Charlotte on completing her master's thesis. She has developed a very interesting and complex index finger that mimics human anatomy by using tendon-like filaments and joints to achieve full range of motion.
