About
Guillaume Durandau is a leading researcher in neuromusculoskeletal modeling and wearable robotic control, whose work bridges biomechanics, neural interfaces, and human-robot interaction. His key research areas include myoelectric control for prosthetics, adaptive exoskeleton control, and musculoskeletal simulation. Durandau’s major contributions center on developing real-time, model-based interfaces that enable intuitive, voluntary control of robotic devices—from wrist-hand prostheses to bilateral ankle exoskeletons—by leveraging electromyogram-driven neuromusculoskeletal models. His 2018 paper on robust simultaneous myoelectric control for wrist-hand prostheses (153 citations) and his 2020 work on adaptive model-based control for a soft wearable arm exosuit (150 citations) are among his most impactful, demonstrating significant reductions in biological joint torque and user effort. He also co-created MyoSim and MyoSuite, open-source simulation platforms that integrate physiologically realistic musculoskeletal models with MuJoCo physics, enabling contact-rich motor control studies. With over 650 total citations, Durandau’s work has advanced neurorehabilitation, occupational safety, and assistive technology, notably through voluntary exoskeleton control for patients with paresis and real-time lumbosacral loading estimation for injury prevention.
