The Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC, is a Research Organization comprising more than 120 Institutes, with a total of about 8,900 people, active in several scientific areas. Within the ESBiRRo project, CSIC will be represented by the Instituto de Automática Industrial, IAI-CSIC-CSIC. CSIC will co-ordinate the project and will be active in research activities together with other project partners. The Instituto de Automática Industrial, at the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, is a scientific research centre oriented to obtaining new knowledge and technologies in the field of processes, systems and advanced strategies of measurement, inspection, control and actuation. Currently 130 people work at the IAI-CSIC-CSIC, being 30 of them full time researchers. Over the last decade, IAI-CSIC-CSIC has been active in the field of advanced systems for
rehabilitation, functional restoration of physical impairment and in general technical aids for disabled. Our Institute has developed these activities in the framework of National, European and International projects. As far as European projects are concerned, IAI-CSIC-CSIC has co-ordinated the 4th Framework Telematics project MANUS on the development of advanced upper limb prosthetics. IAI-CSIC co-ordinated GAIT project, contract IST-2001-37751 for developing a
Intelligent knee and ankle orthosis for biomechanical evaluation and functional compensation of joint disorder; and it was also involved in the 5th Framework QoF project DRIFTS on active suppression of tremor after neurological disorders.
In the framework of ESBiRRo, the IAI-CSIC-CSIC will act as project co-ordinator as well as technical developer in those aspects related to control, signal processing, networking architecture integration as well as combined analysis of movement and EMG data. IAI-CSIC-CSIC will be supported for the coordination task by the administrative staff at CSIC.
