Dr. Micera collaborated to the Courses in Biomechatronics and in Rehabilitation Bioingeneering ("Laurea Specialistica" Degree in Biomedical Engineering at University of Pisa) He is also Responsible of the Course on Biomedical Technologies ("Laurea" Degree in Audioprostheses at University of Pisa) and of the Course on Neural Interfaces and Neuromechanics at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna.
MainresponsibilitiesandResearchgrants In the recent past, Dr. Micera has been involved in the following European research projects as Co-PI (among the others): • 1998-2001 Project Manager of the ESPRIT/GRIP Project (ESPRIT LTR Project #26322, "An InteGRated System for the NeuroelectrIic Control of Grasp in Disabled Persons") whose aim is the implementation of a neuroprosthetic system to restore some hand functions in disabled persons (in particular quadriplegics) • 1999-2003 Technical Project Manager for a research project entitled “Design and development of systems and technologies for functional restoration” carried out at the Applied Research Centre on Rehabilitation Engineering originated by a joint initiative promoted by INAIL (National Institute for Insurance of Injured Workers) and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna • 2003- 2004, IST-FET TETRA Project (Development of an implantable tendon transducer) whose aim was the development of an implantable microsensor to record biomechanical information from the muscolo-tendon system. • 2002-2005, IST-FET CYBERHAND Project (Development of a cybernetic hand prosthesis) whose aim was the development of a hand prosthesis controlled by the neural signals recorded from the peripheral nervous system and able to deliver a sensory feedback to the subject thanks to the stimulation of the afferent nerves. • 2004-2007, IST-eHealth ALLADIN Project (Natural Language based decision support in neuro-rehabilitation), whose aim is the development of a user-friendly natural language based decision support software for neuro-rehabilitation thanks to the development of a mechatronic platform to record isometric force-torque information. • Since 2004, IST-FET NEUROBOTICS Project (Fusing Neuroscience and Robotics to augment human capabilities), whose aim is to go “beyond robotics” developing different hybrid bionic systems. Moreover, Dr. Micera has been involved in other Italian projects. In particular, he has been PI of a project funded by the INAIL Research Center on Rehabilitation Engineering on the analysis of the state of the art in the field to define possible innovative research activities. Dr. Micera is also involved in many collaborations with research centres and universities in Europe (among the others Collège de France, Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona, Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering), Japan (Waseda University), Korea (Korean Institute of Science and Technology), United States (MIT, Harvard University).
