🧠 Workshop Description

The NeuroDesign in Human–Robot Interaction Workshop explores how
neuroscience, AI, psychology, wearable robotics, and human-centered design
can converge to create the next generation of brain-centered, intuitive,
and engaging human–robot systems. NeuroDesign goes beyond performance
metrics, focusing on cognitive and physical interactions (cHRI/pHRI) that
feel natural to the brain and body—adaptive, ergonomic, and socially
meaningful.

The program will feature cutting-edge research, live demonstrations, and
interdisciplinary discussion on themes such as:

    * Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCI) & Cognitive HRI

    * Wearable & Assistive Robotics

    * Neuroergonomics & Human Factors

    * Embodied AI & Human–AI Co-adaptation

    * Affective & Social Robotics

    * Soft Robotics, Exosuits & Human Augmentation

====================================
