Past Projects
Force Myography (FMG)
FMG is a new approach to monitoring muscle contractions and movements. There is currently a external page multisite randomized clinical trial assessing technology we developed to assist individuals in recovering after stroke. Image credit: Carlo Menon
Sample publications:
- external page Exploration of Force Myography and surface Electromyography in Hand Gesture Classification
- external page Force Myography to Control Robotic Upper Extremity Prostheses: A Feasibility Study
- external page Towards the development of a wearable feedback system for monitoring the activities of the upper-extremities
Electroactive Polymers
In the past, we focused on dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA) and explored their potential in a variety of different applications. Images credits: Carlo Menon
Sample Publications
Geckoadhesion
We developed adhesives inspired by the mechanics of the gecko’s toe pads. We focused primarily on new fabrication methods as well as ways to improve the adhesives' functional performance. Image credit: ETH Zurich / Carlo Menon
Soft Robotics
In his early academic days, Professor Menon developed soft actuators, sensors and robots. This topic fascinates him and he might return to it in his future research projects at ETH Zurich.
