Margarita Vergara, Antonio Pérez, and Verónica Gracia visited the
Munich Institute for Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI),
leaded by professor Lorenzo Massia, where they were able to see the
exoskeleton prototypes developed in his laboratory and discuss
possible future collaborations.

The Biomechanics and Ergonomics group organized the 1st
University Sports Competition for Prosthetic Hands, with support
from the UJILab Innovació program, coordinated by the Vice-Rector's
Office for Innovation, Transfer, and Scientific Dissemination
through the INCREA Chair.
The Daidalonic UPV team, from the Polytechnic University of
Valencia, participated in the competition with two prosthetic
designs, and the UJI-Hand team, from the Jaume I University,
participated with one design. The prostheses were used by pilots
with an upper limb amputation or congenital malformation in a
circuit with 14 tests involving grasping objects and performing
activities of daily living, which they had to complete within a
maximum time of 15 minutes.
The winner was the UJI-Hand team, whose academic director is Imma
Llop. Its pilot, José María Valladolid, successfully completed 11 of
the 14 grip tests using the prosthesis developed by the team.
Also participating in the event were the well-known prosthesis
user Carla Maronda and Carlos Contreras, a member of the Spanish
association Ayudame 3D, dedicated to developing low-cost prosthetics
for users around the world.

Student Ferran Mateu, a participant in the "Study and Research"
program of the Biomechanics and Ergonomics group, presents his
research at the "10th Study and Research Conference." His work,
entitled "Morphological Analysis of the Human Hand: Comparative 3D
Scanning Techniques," showcases part of his work in the field of 3D
scanning of the human hand.
