- July 9 I FEEDBOT: a robotic arm to help people with motor disabilities to feed themselves independently
The Feedbot project is developing a robotic arm that supports people with severe motor disabilities like Cerebral Palsy, Alzheimer’s and other degenerative diseases, to feed themselves autonomously. The proposed robot arm learns the behaviors of each user and adapts the movements during each meal. More at: https://cmuportugal.org/exploratory-research-projects/

- July 10 I BioVisualSpeech: an Interactive Platform to support children during speech therapy sessions
The BioVisualSpeech project is developing an Interactive Platform of videogames for Speech Therapy. The games will help speech therapists to motivate children and encourage them to develop their skills. This research uses natural and multimodal human computer interaction mechanisms to provide bio-feedback in speech and language therapy. More at: https://cmuportugal.org/biovisualspeech/
