Dear Colleagues:
We invite you to the 2018 International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation (ICNR2018) and to
the 2018 International Symposium on Wearable Robotics (WeRob2018). Both events will be held
in Italy for the first time.
Researchers and innovators from all around the world will discuss novel approaches, challenges
and potential solutions in technologies for robots used in rehabilitation, as well as neural
processes in neuromodulation and neuroplasticity and biomechanics. The conference and the
symposium will encompass topics ranging from pediatric application of robots, recent innovations
in wearable robotic technology, computational neurorehabilitation, physical human-robot
interaction and interfaces, and solutions for the needs of persons with disabilities and the aging
population.
The conference and symposium programs will include interactive workshops with engineers,
clinicians, and end-users to promote collaboration among different disciplines, and an exhibition
area for demonstrating the latest in wearable exoskeletons and rehabilitation robots.
We look forward to welcoming you to Pisa.
Sincerely,
ICNR and WeRob 2018 Co-Chairs,
Silvestro Micera, PhD José Luis Pons Rovira, PhD
Professor, Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna Director, Neural Rehabilitation Group
Professor, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne Cajal Institute

KoroiBot and was PI in the EU projects MOBOT and ECHORD–GOP. She is founding chair of the IEEE
RAS technical committee Model-based optimization for robotics. Her research focuses on understanding
human movement and using this knowledge to improve motions of humanoid robots and in the interactions of
humans with exoskeletons, prostheses and external physical devices. Her particular interest is on dynamic
motions such as walking, running, and other kinds of motions in sports, as well as motions of daily life. She
and her team use and develop dynamic models and optimization methods for motion studies, based on the assumption that human movement is
optimal. In this context they are also interested in inverse optimal control which can determine what a human is optimizing in a given situation.
