About
Mathilde Connan is a researcher specializing in rehabilitation robotics, human-machine interfaces, and assistive technologies, with a particular focus on improving the control of prosthetic limbs and humanoid robotic systems. Her most influential work, "Assessment of a Wearable Force- and Electromyography Device and Comparison of the Related Signals for Myocontrol" (2016, 112 citations), evaluated emerging wearable sensing technologies to advance pattern recognition in prosthetic hand and wrist control — a critical challenge in clinical rehabilitation. Building on this foundation, Connan has pioneered the integration of tactile myography with electromyography, demonstrating that combining these modalities can meaningfully improve simultaneous and proportional control of dexterous prostheses. Her 2020 work on natural myocontrol further addressed the longstanding problem of coordinating combined hand and wrist movements in real time. Beyond prosthetics, she has contributed to body posture tracking with lightweight, low-cost wearable devices and explored teleoperation of upper-limb humanoid robots for bimanual home assistance. Across her research, Connan consistently emphasizes practical, user-centered solutions, bridging the gap between laboratory innovation and real-world clinical and assistive robotics applications.
