2nd IEEE EMBS Unconference on Rehabilitation Robotics

A Short Introduction to the Unconference Format

The unconference format is relatively new to IEEE EMBS, although this format has been used by others to organize hundreds of meetings. We had the 1st IEEE EMBS Unconference in Boston in 2011 and it was a great success!!! The meeting in Boston was focused on wearable technology. This year, the topic of the meeting will be rehabilitation robotics. The format will be the same. The video below provides a summary of last year event.

The purpose of the day is to bring together all those who care about addressing key challenges in the translation of robotic technology in rehabilitation. Attendees are expected to include clinicians, engineers and individuals from the private sector.

The unconference format is such that the agenda/schedule for the day is created live the day of the event. We will be working with leading experts in designing and facilitating unconferences to make sure that the 2nd IEEE EMBS Unconference on Rehabilitation Robotics is successful even more than its first edition. By creating the agenda the day of the event, we will facilitate discussions on emerging developments and new ideas in rehabilitation robotics. Bring your ideas, knowledge and enthusiasm to this event and you will get a lot out of it!!!
