About
Florian Richer is a biomedical and rehabilitation robotics researcher whose work centers on advancing upper-limb prosthetic control, human-robot interaction, and assistive technologies for amputees. His most significant contributions lie in developing innovative control paradigms for robotic arm prostheses, particularly methods that move beyond conventional myoelectric decoding. Notably, his pioneering work on body compensation-based control demonstrated that natural trunk and shoulder movements could be harnessed to simultaneously drive multiple prosthetic joints, addressing a longstanding limitation in the field — a contribution that has attracted over 20 citations. Richer also explored how voluntary phantom hand and finger movements in transhumeral amputees could enable intuitive, cognitively natural control of polydigital prostheses, garnering nearly a dozen citations across related publications. His development of the Smart ArM platform further showcases his translational approach, bridging research and competition-ready prosthetic hardware. Beyond prosthetics, his work spans laparoscopic surgical robotics and variable viscosity control in human-robot co-manipulation. Collectively, Richer's research reflects a consistent commitment to making assistive robotic systems more intuitive, responsive, and accessible for people living with limb loss.
