The main area of the research interests of the laboratory is rehabilitation engineering. The research group is internationally recognized for synthesis of simple walking pattern in spinal cord injured persons by using functional electrical stimulation of paralyzed muscles. This original approach was accepted by numerous rehabilitation centres worldwide. In recent times different control algorithms were developed aimed to enable hand free standing in completely paralyzed person.
The newly proposed neurorehabilitation systems consist of actuation, sensory and cognitive systems. A neurorehabilitation system for treadmill walking training is based on gyroscopes and accelerometers gait measurements. Tracking methods, utilizing specially designed force sensor, are applied for therapy and assesment of hand grasping.
Recent research is predominantly oriented towards rehabilitation robotics. A novel robot mechanism enabling raising from sitting to standing position was developed. Together with several European partners, the group is involved in the development of a rehabilitation robot providing functional exercise of the impared upper extremities. An original robotic mechanism providing exercise of finger movements was designed.

Another research domain is human performance engineering. The researchers are involved in another EU project testing movement capabilities of the hand and different man-machine interfaces that provide control over wheelchairs, robotic manipulator or other assistive devices. The haptic interface play an important role both in control of complex assistive devices and in quantitative assessment of upper extremities movements.
Several assembly robot cells were developed and introduced in Slovene industry: assembly of SMT electronic components, glue dispensing, drilling, testing in chemical industry and assembly of car batteries. Currently the industry development is directed towards the assembly of heater compoment parts.
