Society for Research In Rehabilitation
Submitted by Sarah Tyson on Wed, 10/07/2009 - 15:49Dear All
The next meeting of the Society for Research in Rehabilitation will be held at the University of Salford on 2nd Feb.
The symposia are on "Implementing research in to practice" and "The implications for practice of recent research on stroke recovery" and there are free papers and posters.
There is a call for abstracts on any topic relating to rehabilitation – Deadline 5th November, details on the SRR website (www.srr.org.uk)
Please could you circulate the attached flyer to your contacts and networks, and consider coming yourself too of course.
See you there
Regards

Submitted by Farshid Amirabd... on Fri, 01/23/2009 - 15:58The Adaptive Systems Research Group investigates a variety of research topics. Of particular relevance to this network are the themes of human-robot interaction and assistive technology.
The research group has been involved in a variety of EU projects, to list a few: IROMEC is an FP6 STREP that investigates the role of interactive robotic social mediators as companions for children who cannot play. E-circus

Submitted by M.R.Hillman on Fri, 06/06/2008 - 20:15The Bath Institute of Medical Engineering (BIME) celebrates its 40th anniversary of bringing engineering solutions to medical and healthcare problems. BIME is a charity, managed by the University of Bath, within its School for Health as well as working closely with the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The main focus of this work has been in the meeting the needs of disabled people. Two relevant and recent projects have been in assistive robotics and systems and solutions for people with dementia.
The University of Reading
Submitted by Rui Loureiro on Fri, 06/06/2008 - 13:42The University of Reading is one of the top 20 most research-intensive universities in the UK, a major contributor to the knowledge economy, and internationally recognised for the excellence of its teaching. The School of System Engineering has a strong research interest in interactive systems research; that is any situation where a human is considered as integral to the control loop.
