DESCRIPTION:Etienne Burdet Ph.D.\, Chair in Human Robotics\, Imperial Coll
 ege London\, United Kingdom\nMy research interest is in human-machine inte
 raction. I enjoy investigating how humans interact with their environment 
 and with each other. With my group\, we develop new technical tools for th
 is purpose\, and take all opportunities to use our acquired knowledge and 
 devices in clinical applications. My talk will highlight some of our proje
 cts\, such as how understanding the process of learning of physical intera
 ctions in humans can improve neurorehabilitation technologies\, or how we 
 use fMRI and compatible robotic systems to investigate brain development i
 n prematurely born babies at risk of cerebral palsy.\nBio: Dr. Etienne Bur
 det is Professor of Human Robotics in the Department of Bioengineering at 
 The Imperial College of Science\, Technology and Medicine. He is also a vi
 siting Professor at Université Paris VI and at University College London.
  He holds an MSc in Mathematics (1990)\, an MSc in Physics (1991)\, and a 
 PhD in Robotics (1996)\, all from ETH-Zürich. He was a postdoctoral fello
 w with TE Milner from McGill University\, Canada\, JE Colgate from Northwe
 stern University\, USA and Mitsuo Kawato of ATR in Japan. Professor Burdet
 ’s group uses an integrative approach of neuroscience and robotics to: i
 ) investigate human motor control\, and ii) design efficient systems for t
 raining and rehabilitation\, which are tested in clinical trials.
