  • Prof. Gordon Cheng is researching how insights from robotics and neuroscience can be combined - in order to build better robots and to help humans. Funded by an ERC Advanced Grant, he now wants to develop an exoskeleton for people with paralysis.

    Project STROLL: Soft exoskeleton for people with paralysis

    ERC Advanced Grant awarded to Prof. Dr. Cheng

    30 March 2023 | Prof. Gordon Cheng is awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for his project STROLL. He wants to develop a soft exoskeleton for people with paralysis.

  • The image shows a flexible electrode that is connected to a nerve. The nerve is represented as a purple colored tube. The electrode consists of six circular metal parts each equipped with a small tip that goes into the nerve. A metallic conducting track leads to any of these electrode ends. The tracks are embedded in a transparent band.
