The L3S is part of the new European doctoral network AERIALIST. The EU-funded project is dedicated to the development of intelligent assistive health technologies. The aim is to create innovative solutions for use in unattended or home environments that improve diagnosis, treatment and quality of life.
While recent advances in hardware, sensing, and actuation technologies for assistive health technology showcase the immense potential for pervasive improvements in health and quality of life, significant hurdles remain. For instance, cutting-edge systems face challenges when thrust into the uncertainties of real-world domestic environments, lacking adaptability.
By developing systems that dynamically adapt to users, environments and tasks, AERIALIST aims to promote intuitive and symbiotic support in technologies such as home rehabilitation robots, motorised prostheses and telemedicine applications. The focus is on safety, reliability and promoting equality in everyday life.
L3S is one of 25 partners in the AERIALIST consortium. The collaboration between the participating universities, research institutes and companies bridges the gap between research and practical innovation in the healthcare sector. Led by L3S member Prof. Thomas Seel, some of the AERIALIST doctoral students will work on the development of learning strategies for movement patterns and the collaborative learning and adaptation of different systems.
AERIALIST started in March 2025 and will run until the end of February 2029.
