The College of Information Technology (CIT) in cooperation with the Intelligent Robot Interaction Laboratory (IRlab) held a  robotic workshop and exhibition titled “Robotics and Real World Innovative Applications in Healthcare” as part of the UAEU Innovation Week activities. The workshop’s aim was to focus on presenting various methodologies that move beyond the traditional robot sand toward the bio-inspired smart robot applications and devices that can be employed in the health care rehabilitation field – such as prosthesis, innovative physio robotic system for stroke patients, intelligent health monitoring systems that include monitoring sleep patterns and issues with patients with sleep apnea, and live simulators for autistic children.  

The workshop included different educational lectures that were presented by a number of international researchers and specialists from various fields in medicine, mathematics, robotics, and human brain science.
