Zorgidee 2014: Het potentieel van zorgrobotica - Bram VanderborghtMichiel Stoffels
“Robotprof krijgt 1,5 miljoen voor toponderzoek” titelde de kranten afgelopen zomer. Prof. Bram Vanderborght van de Vrije Universiteit Brussel kreeg met zijn onderzoeksgroep de subsidie van de European Research Council toegewezen voor onderzoek naar een nieuwe generatie aandrijvingen voor robots. De groep is ondermeer actief in het domein van de robotprotheses die bijvoorbeeld een been vervangen bij het wandelen, of exoskeletons die om het lichaam zitten om te helpen bij revalidatie en ontwikkelt daarnaast ook sociale robots die bijvoorbeeld kinderen met autisme communicatieve vaardigheden aanleren. Prof. Bram Vanderborght is dan ook de ideale man om het potentieel van robots voor de zorgsector toe te lichten en samen met ons een blik in de roboticatoekomst te werpen.
