We would like to congratulate Moe Nishiya from Morita's Lab in Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan for winning the Student Contest. Her presentation: "Evaluation and Training Device for Adjustability of Pinching Force “iWakka-pinch”: Application to Upper Limb Training in Hemiplegic Stroke Patients" was rated as best by the Scientific Council.

Call for papers

It’s a pleasure to invite you to submit your early research to the 2021 Japan-Poland International Workshop on Technologies supporting rehabilitation and medical services. The aim of the workshop is to bring together medical doctors and robotic engineers to strengthen collaboration between medicine and robotics. The main focus will be post-stroke medical services and technologies. Exchanging different forms of knowledge can give great results such as new thoughts, ideas, and joint projects. The workshop is also an opportunity for young researchers to present the results of their work and participate in a discussion that may be useful in later scientific and publishing work.

The 5th edition of Japan-Poland meeting will be held online. The final program of the workshop will be the result of a review process to extract the most exciting research in areas of robotics in rehabilitation medicine. Submissions will be evaluated in terms of their novelty, technical quality, significance and potential impact. The program will include oral presentations of accepted papers.

Participants should submit an abstract of the presentation, written in English (1-2 pages), according to included template.

As a part of the workshop, The Student Contest was organized. Presentations were evaluated in terms of their originality, importance of the topic and presentation quality.

Subject Areas

We invite submissions in areas of robotics and medicine, including healthcare, rehabilitation and medical robotics, control and dynamics, sensing, human-robot interaction.
