Abstract
The neuro-robotics paradigm is a design approach, mainly aimed at the fusion of neuroscience and robotic competences and methods to design better robots that can act and interact closely with humans, in several application fields: rehabilitation and personal assistance, prosthetics, urban services, surgery, diagnostics, and environment monitoring.
