Abstract

Before the first author joined the department, the research group around Prof. Nordmann exclusively focused on 'classic' Mechatronics issues, such as active magnetic bearings and squeeze film dampers. This changed in 2004, when the first author -- who had developed a hands-free control system for an electric wheelchair within the framework of his PhD thesis (see [1]) -- became an active part of the group.
