Workshop @ ICORR 2017 | Human-Oriented Approaches for Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics
On Monday 17 in London there will be a very interesting workshop on Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics. It is a workshop of the IEEE ICORR Conference. Gionata Salvietti from our #sirslab is one of the organizers of the workshop. I am anxious to participate to the WS. DP

Pepper alla Casa di Riposo ASP Campansi in Siena
Una collaborazione tra Università di Siena e ASP di Siena
Che dire ? È stata un’esperienza fantastica che ha arricchito prima di tutto noi del #sirslab. Una robotica che tiene al centro l’uomo è quello per cui noi al Dipartimento di Ingegneria dell’Informazione e Scienze Matematiche, Università di Siena ci stiamo impegnando ogni giorno. Un particolare grazie ai folks del Laboratorio di Robotica tra cui Leonardo Meli, Chiara Gaudeni, Tommaso Lisini, Niccolò Ciavarella e tutti quelli che nel tempo ci hanno aiutato a programmare Pepper. Un grazie particolare a Monica Ulivelli, motore dell’iniziativa all’interno del CDA e a Carlo Rossi, Biancamaria Rossi e a tutta la dirigenza di ASP Viviana Turchi e al consiglio scientifico di cui ho l’onore di fare parte insieme a Luigia Tauro. Grazie ad Alice e al suo team per tutto quanto ha creato e realizzato per questa iniziativa ed infine un immenso grazie agli ospiti del Campansi di Siena che sono la vera anima di tutto quanto è stato realizzato in questi giorni di duro lavoro. Ora rimaniamo in attesa del Documentario. Stay tuned. ps. Grazie anche alla mia amata Elena che è stata con noi. _DP
[jobs] 2 PHD Openings – Highly Wearable Robotics and Highly Wearable Haptics – University of Siena – Deadline July 17, 2017 (2pm).
Dear future scientists, if you want to start a new research adventure on Wearable Haptics for AR/VR and Teleoperation and on Supernumerary Robotic Limbs to help people with impairments and to define new paradigms of human robot integrations, apply to the two PhD scholarships on
– Supernumerary limbs to compensate and augment the manipulation abilities of humans
– Technologies and methodologies for robotic manipulation and wearable haptics [In cooperation with Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova] now available at the SIRSLab of the University of Siena
The PhD program is in Information Engineering and Science at the University of Siena (one of the two scholarships is in cooperation with the Istituito Italiano di Tecnologia in Genova)
To apply to one of the two scholarships, follow the instruction on line (this step is mandatory and the deadline is July 17 at 2pm)
and send an email to domenico.prattichizzo@unisi.it.
To know more about the research activities and for any additional questions send me an email.
Thanks for your interest
_Domenico Prattichizzo and the #sirslab team

Wearable Haptics is the 2nd most downloaded paper on IEEE Transactions on Haptics
Our paper on Wearable Haptics “Towards wearability in fingertip haptics: a 3-DoF wearable device for cutaneous force feedback.” by Domenico Prattichizzo, Francesco Chinello,Claudio Pacchierotti, Monica Malvezzi. published on IEEE Transactions on Haptics, 6(4):506-516, 2013 is the second most downloaded paper on the IEEE Transactions on Haptics journal as shown yesterday the the EIC Lynette Jones at #whc2017 at the World Haptics Conference in Munich. The first one is a review/survey paper on medical training simulators. #sirslab
