B2R Lab (Biomimetic and Biohybrid Robotics Laboratory) is the new facility of the PRISMA Team for the design and fabrication of soft and bioinspired robots aimed at medical applications, prostheses and exoskeletons as well as their biological interfaces to communicate with the human body. The lab is equipped with lower/upper limb prostheses and exoskeletons, both commercial robots and internally developed prototypes. The Lab has optical tracking systems, emg sensors, treadmills, and in general rehabilitation systems, 3D printers in metal, silicone and polymeric material, as well as tools for rapid prototyping of soft robots.
