ROBOTICS & MULTIBODY MECHANICS - R&MM AUGMENTX REIMAGINES ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENT.
The Robotics and Multibody Mechanics, in short R&MM, research group was created by Professor Dirk Lefebre. He devoted his long career, to human robot interaction. Ankle prosthetics, rehabilitation robots and exoskeletons have all passed the revue. In 2021 he was awarded the “Hilde Bruersprijs voor Geneeskunde” which is quite a fee for a prof in robotics. At the same time, the first brick of the Flanders Make AugmentX infrastructure was placed. In 2024 the AugmentX Research lab in Brussel, and the AugmentX Validation and Demonstration lab in Kortrijk opened the doors. These environments, dedicated to human robot interaction is the foundation for contemporary and future research.
