Prof. Arturo Forner-Cordero, graduated in Telecom Engineering (MSc Eng) at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain (1992), obtained a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (Biomechanics) from Twente University of Technology in the Netherlands (2003) and was Post-Doc at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium (2005). In 2006 he won a "Ramón y Cajal" grant for the CSIC in Spain. Prof Arturo Forner Cordero is Associate Professor at the Department of Mechatronics Engineering and Mechanical Systems of the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paul. He is also the Head of the Biomechatronics Laboratory. The lines of activity in research and technological development involve different aspects of Biomechatronics, Biomechanics, Biorobotics and Motor Control. He has published more than 40 papers in international journals, co-authored 10 books, filed two patents and participated in multiple conferences as speaker, guest or organizer. In 2014 he organized the conference of the IEEE BioRob the most important global event on Biomechatronics and Biorobotics that after Europe, the US and Japan took place in Brazil. Currently, Prof Forner-Cordero coordinates several projects for the study of motor control of the upper and lower limbs with national funds (CNPq) and international as well as participating in the USP research group of Advanced Studies in Rehabilitation (NEAR).

The current project is the initial part of a long-term research line (10 years) aiming at the implementation of the Biomechatronics Laboratory of the University of São Paulo. The main research focus of this lab is the study of human motor control from an engineering perspective and the development of upper limb exoskeletons that will be used to test experimentally the proposed control mo…
Prostheses and exoskeletons capable of extracting movement intentions from the electromyogram (EMG) have the potential to prevent or mitigate motor difficulties. The motion intent extraction would be performed by a myoelectric controller, which consists of a machine learning algorithm that would solve classification or regression problems. However, there are still obstacles to the practic…
I Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have been drawing researchers' attention to a wide range of applications, especially to assistance and motor rehabilitation, since there is not a great variety of available treatments nowadays and these are not completely effective. Although EEG-based BMIs have a huge potential for motor rehabilitation, there are still a few challenges that must be overco…
This project aims the development of an impedance control algorithm to be implemented on an exoskeleton for the performance of passive, active, active-assisted and active-resistance physiotherapeutic exercises. The algorithm elaboration will be based on the working principle of the ETMICAE exoskeleton (Exoesqueleto de Tronco e Membros Inferiores para Caminhada Autônoma Estável), developed…
