RoBioSS

Robotique Biomécanique Sport Santé (RoBioSS)

The scientific objectives of RoBioSS focus on the coordination of multibody systems by merging concepts from robotics and biomechanics. RoBioSS is heavily involved in research programs in the fields of sports performance, ergonomics, and personal assistance towards rehabilitation centres. The RoBioSS research group has the theoretical and experimental skills for movement optimization and synthesis, human locomotion analysis of healthy and pathological subjects and, more generally for motor tasks analysis through 3D dynamic and kinematic measures, development of specific ergometers, software, and data processing.

To carry out these actions, RoBioSS owns a platform for human movement analysis of an exceptional level including: 18 force platforms (Kistler, Sensix), 20 optoelectronic cameras VICON T40, 6 digital cameras (SVGA, 500 Hz) and one electromyographic system (Delsys Trigano).

EUROPEAN SUPPORT

EU_FEDER

European Regional Development Fund

The ERDF focuses its investments on several key priority areas. This is known as 'thematic concentration':

  • Innovation and research;
  • The digital agenda;
  • Support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs);
  • The low-carbon economy.

The ERDF resources allocated to these priorities will depend on the category of region. In more developed regions, at least 80 % of funds must focus on at least two of these priorities;

  • In transition regions, this focus is for 60 % of the funds;
  • This is 50 % in less developed regions.

Furthermore, some ERDF resources must be channelled specifically towards low-carbon economy projects:

  • More developed regions: 20%;
  • Transition regions: 15%; and
  • Less developed regions: 12%.
