CONTROL OF THE ROBOTIC ARM
EXTENDER, A DEDICATED RESEARCH PROJECT
THE CONSORTIUM OF PARTNERS ALONGSIDE ORTHOPUS:
3 robotics laboratories
• ISIR – Institut des Systèmes Intelligents et de Robotique (Sorbonne Université/ CNRS)
• Team-projet AUCTUS (Centre Inria de l’Université de Bordeaux)
– LAAS-CNRS (Laboratoire d’analyse et d’architecture des systèmes du CNRS)
2 operators for preclinical tests
• ESEAN – APF France handicap
• Institut Pascal à Clermont-Ferrand
CETCOPRA (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne)
Research unit specialized in the socio-anthropological analysis of technology
The goal of the EXTENDER project is to develop innovative control interfaces to enable people with disabilities to operate the ORTHOPUS Explorer installed on their wheelchair.
The idea is to transfer academic expertise developed in research laboratories and adapt it to the autonomy needs of people with limited mobility. Several control interfaces will be tested with users.
The press release
For EXTENDER, ORTHOPUS is the winner of the Défi Transfert Robotique call for projects, a France2030 programm supported by the ANR (French National Research Agency) and Bpifrance – Reference ANR-23-DMRO-0022.
