Join the SWAG Hands-on Workshop on CEINMS-RT

On 29 October 2025, SWAG will host an online hands-on workshop dedicated to CEINMS-RT, an open-source platform for real-time neuro-mechanical model-based control of wearable robots.

The workshop will focus on how CEINMS-RT can support wearable robotic systems such as exoskeletons, exosuits and bionic limbs, and will provide participants with a practical introduction to the platform and its potential for research and development.

The session will walk participants through the logic behind CEINMS-RT and show how it can be used in real-time wearable robotics applications. The programme will include an overview of the platform architecture, a live end-to-end demonstration following the pathway from EMG and sensor acquisition to real-time assistive output, and a guided installation segment. A Q&A session will also give participants the opportunity to explore how the platform can be implemented and used in their own work.

The workshop will feature:

  • Prof. Massimo Sartori
  • Michele Paravano
  • Mohamed Irfan Refai
  • Roger van Kanten
  • Salvatore Li Gioi

CEINMS-RT was developed within the SWAG project by researchers at the University of Twente, led by Prof. Massimo Sartori, in collaboration with McGill University and Griffith University. The platform has been developed by the Neuromechanics and Neuromuscular Robotics Lab at the University of Twente.

Launched at the start of 2025 as a freely available open-source platform, CEINMS-RT aims to support more personalised and adaptive control of wearable robots by combining real-time EMG data with biomechanical modelling to estimate quantities such as muscle activation, muscle–tendon force and joint dynamics.

By bringing together researchers, developers and the wider wearable robotics community, the workshop will provide an opportunity to explore how open-source neuromechanical modelling can support real-time assistive technologies and future applications in rehabilitation, augmentation and human-centred robotics.
