Renato Mio

PhD Student

Renato is a first-year PhD student with a focus on Human Augmentation. Previously, he finished an MSc in Biomedical Eng. at Imperial College London, UK, and a Bachelor in Mechatronics Eng. at Pontifical Catholic University of Peru.

Research Brief

Renato’s current focus is on human augmentation through supernumerary robotic limbs. Specifically, he is studying how non-invasive neural interfacing combined with neurofeedback can be used to train humans to control individual motoneurons, and then use these signals as commands for external devices.
