Biography in Brief:
Tobias Nef’s research is in the field of robot-aided neurorehabilitation of the upper and lower extremities. He is particularly interested in the haptic interaction between the robot and the human and in the underlying robotic-control strategies. While he was with Robert Riener at ETH Zurich, he developed the arm therapy robot ARMin. His work has been awarded several prices, among them the Hans-Eggenberger foundation Award 2008.
