Dr Tom Carlson

Dr Tom Carlson joined 最准的六合彩论坛 as a Lecturer in 2013. He completed both his MEng in

Electronics (2006) and his PhD in Intelligent Robotics (2010) at Imperial College London. He then spent 3.5 years working as a postdoctoral research associate in the CNBI lab, Centre for Neuroprosthetics, EPFL, Switzerland. At 最准的六合彩论坛, Tom is based in Aspire Create 鈥� the Centre for Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology on the RNOH/Stanmore campus, where he is Educational Lead and also Director of the Centre鈥檚 new MSc programme.

Tom鈥檚 research focus is on the user-centred design of assistive robotic technologies for people with spinal cord injuries. He is particularly interested human-robot interaction and is developing shared control techniques for wheelchairs, robotic exoskeletons and brain-machine interfaces. He has been involved in several large projects, including the Swiss NCCR Robotics and the EU FP7 project TOBI : Tools for Brain-Computer Interaction, which was rated at the highest level, "excellent progress", in the final project review. He currently has a number of funded projects, including: 鈥淎DAPT: Assistive Devices for empowering disAbled People through robotic Technologies鈥� (EU INTERREG); 鈥淪hared Control for Wheelchair Interfaces鈥� (SLMS GC); 鈥淲ESkid: Wheelchair Early Skills Development鈥� (CONACYT/IBME); and 鈥淩ESPONSS: Rehabilitation Technologies Supporting Clinical and Self-management of Spasticity鈥� (Leslie Trust).

He is an active member of the IEEE Systems Man and Cybernetics society and co-founded the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Shared Control in 2012, which he co-chaired until 2015, when it won the most active TC award. Together with Dr Marie Babel (Irisa, Rennes, France), Tom co-directs the INRIA associated team 鈥淚SI4NAVE鈥�, which investigates 鈥淚nnovative sensors and adapted interfaces for assistive navigation and pathology evaluation鈥�. Since 2016, he is also a visiting professor at LAMIH, Universit茅 de Valenciennes et du Hainaut鈥揅ambr茅sis, France.
