About
Bernard Grandjean is a pioneering researcher in assistive robotics, with a career dedicated to enhancing the autonomy and quality of life for individuals with severe disabilities. His work lies at the intersection of human-machine interaction, rehabilitation robotics, and smart home technologies. Grandjean’s major contributions include the development of a generic human-machine interface (HMI) for controlling assistive robots, notably through the AMOR project, which emphasized personalization to meet individual user needs—a critical factor for usability. He also pioneered the integration of rehabilitation robotics with smart home environments, bridging two previously separate fields to create cohesive, user-friendly assistive systems. His research on path planning and quantitative user evaluations has improved the practical usability of robot manipulators, ensuring that devices like the Manus arm are accessible and effective in real-world conditions. With over 40 citations across his most influential papers, Grandjean’s work has laid foundational groundwork for user-centered design in assistive technology. His commitment to involving end-users in every stage of development—from prototyping to testing—remains a hallmark of his approach, making his contributions both technically robust and deeply human-centered.
