The ImRo-lab is housed at the Department of Neuromedicine and Movement Science (INB) at NTNU, and collaborates with the research group on Digitalization and robotization of society at NTNU KULT, among others.
ImRo lab (Immersive Technologies and Social Robotics laboratory) is a laboratory for innovation within welfare technology, where we wish to develop projects, test solutions and show successful outcomes.
The ImRo-lab is a multidisciplinary meeting hub for local, national and international actors that wants to create excellent research and education for welfare technology based on societal needs.
Using virtual, digital sensing and social robotics, we will stimulate cogntive and physical activity for people with disabilites.
Welfare technology is a Scandinavian term that has gained a strong focus both in the academic community and for the general public in recent years. Welfare technology can help alleviate the challenges faced by health and welfare services. This can be achieved by facilitating people to manage themselves longer and to have a better life by promoting independence, activity and participation in society.
