#CRERoB wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Many thanks to all who contributed to our research. Read latest updates about #CRERoB research and activities in the December issue of our newsletter here:: buff.ly/3tnVJhz.

Happy New Year from everyone at NRE! We extend our wishes for a fantastic 2024 and hope that it will bring you abundant joy and prosperity. May this new year be filled with happiness and achievements for all! #CREROB

Yesterday, #CREROB had a visit from the student groups of Neuroscience Academy Denmark (NAD). We presented our projects followed by a demonstration of each ongoing project. The students got to try eMotivo and the ITCI, and were very interested in their research and development.

Our colleague Kasper recently received a Spin-outs Denmark grant! The grant covers a year of work to create a spin-out on the at-home exercise system #eMotivo! A big congratulations to Kasper and #eMotivo! #CREROB

Is it possible to eat, drink, and surf on the web using the inductive tongue computer interface? Several studies have stated that this is not feasible – however, we decided to check it out. See our results with two users who have tetraplegia at ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10341… #CRERoB

Did you know the inductive tongue-computer interface can detect tongue gestures, such as swipes and double taps? Read more about how people can use a preliminary version of the non-invasive tongue interface to swipe and double-tap at buff.ly/3SnisEk #CREROB

How much is the optimal moving velocity of an assistive robotic manipulator or an upper limb exoskeleton? We introduced an adaptive and autonomous method for adjusting the robot velocity in different regions of workspace. Read more: buff.ly/3vKrdQ1

How can simulation-based design methods be useful in designing an upper-limb exoskeleton, to reduce the design cycles, research time and dependency on end users? Read our recent article in #EMBC_2023 (buff.ly/3Oe4iCI) that makes it evident. #CREROB #EXOTIC

Congratulations to Prof. N. S. Andreasen Struijk, Clinical Prof. Micheal Gaihede, and Associate Clinical Prof. Christian Nai En Tierp-Wong, for receiving a grant from #ElsassFonden. Thank you very much to the #ElsassFonden! #CREROB

It is always exciting to see end users using our systems and robots! Recently, we successfully performed #HyperHand experiments in collaboration with the Spinal Cord Injury Centre of Western Denmark (VCR). We are very happy to receive positive feedback from them! #CREROB

On 26th of January, the university held ceremony for all graduated PhD students, including #CREROB member Rasmus Lerdorf Kæseler. The ceremony involved inspirational speeches from Prorektor Anne Marie Kanstrup and Alumne Anita Friis Sommer from LEGO Systems A/S. buff.ly/3ueVw0R

Ready-set-go! eMotivo2 is in action! The second phase of eMotivo's life-cycle has just begun, as we are now starting a new project on turning eMotivo into a company - thanks to Spin-outs Denmark. #CREROB #EMOTIVO

Yesterday we moved back to Vestdansk Center for Rygmarvsskade, where we performed the second round of #HyperHand experiments! #CREROB

We are excited to share that after adequate pilot tests, the second version of #EXOTIC is ready for experiments with able-bodied participants. This version of #EXOTIC exoskeleton has 6 DoFs based on a multi-modal control system. #CREROB

This week #CREROB member Kasper is attending the School of Health Innovation (SHI), a course on Innovation and entrepreneurship within HealthTech. The SHI is a joint venture of University of Copenhagen, University of Oslo, Norwegian University, and Karolinska Institute. #EMOTIVO

In unison with millions across the globe, we in #CRERoB joyously commemorated #Nowruz, the Persian New Year. Nowruz signifies the advent of spring and the rejuvenation of nature. To all those observing, we extend our warmest wishes for a joyous New Year!

With great excitement and gratitude, we announce that our head of Center for Rehabilitation Robotics, Prof. Lotte N.S.A. Struijk and her co-applicants have received a grant of 1,43 million EUR from Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansens Fond for continuation of #CRERoB for 3 more years.

We have an exciting PhD position available in on Brain and Tongue computer interfacing – start August 1st 2024 or soon hereafter. You can find further description and apply here before May 1st: buff.ly/4auZYYX Looking forward to hear from you!

We always strive to make our research lead to tangible results for the society, and participating in entrepreneurial activities is a path towards it. In this regard #CREROB member y Mohammadi participated in the Spin-Outs Denmark masterclass event last week. #CREROB.

#CREROB will soon welcome a new Ph.D. Fellow David who will be developing innovative communication devices for ALS patients. With excitement, he said: "I look forward to tackling the challenges, seizing the opportunities and enjoying the company of like-minded colleagues in lab!"
