Camila Shirota visited RELab, ETH Zurich in 2014. “The NCCR Robotics exchange fellowship was a great experience for me! It was very exciting, and the results of the ensuing, full study are being prepared for publication. The research experience also allowed me to more concretely envision the continuation of my PhD research, investigating human balance recovery and control during gait. Beyond the hands-on work, I also had the chance to experience how academic research is structured and run in a different environment than I was previously trained in. This positive opportunity resulted in my current post-doc position at the RELab, furthering the research I was able to develop thanks to the NCCR Robotics exchange fellowship.”
