Motor Learning and Neurorehabilitation Lab

The Motor Learning and Neurorehabilitation Laboratory (MLN Lab)  is an interdisciplinary research lab at the Human-Robot Interaction Group of the Cognitive Robotics Department of the Delft University of Technology. We closely collaborate with the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the Erasmus Medical Center and the Rijndam Rehabilitation Center in Rotterdam. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms associated with the acquisition of novel motor skills in order to develop innovative technology to improve the rehabilitation of neurological patients. 

We collaborate with different shareholders and involve them at every stage of the design process to gain insights into the challenges and needs of people with neurological injuries, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals. We aim to design rehabilitation technologies that are not only innovative but also meaningful for them. 

We create therapy environments with meaningful visual and somatosensory feedback to enhance motor learning.

We design and develop low-cost accessible rehabilitation technology for the home and clinic.


We extent our robot-human interaction knowledge beyond neurorehabilitation, including topics from flying drones to cycling.
