Design en robot der gør træning sjovt
LYNGBY 5. NOVEMBER 2026
Visit DTU Electro and meet inspiring role models
Ja, og vi skal møde to kvinder, der arbejder med at udvikle robotter, der kan hjælpe med at opdage sygdomme og at træne hjernen – fx ved at gøre øvelser mere motiverende og sjove for børn og voksne.
På denne 3-timers workshop får du et kig ind i en verden, hvor robotter kan hjælpe mennesker.
Du skal høre om to virkelige cases og de udfordringer, som 2 unge mennesker har til dagligt, og du skal se hvordan robotter kan hjælpe dem.
Du møder Silvia og Jackii, der arbejder med hvordan hjernen fungerer, lærer og styrer vores krop og bevægelser. De vil vise os rigtige robotter, og hvordan de udvikler ideer til at opdage sygdomme og træne patienter ved hjælp af robotteknologi.
Derefter skal vi selv være kreative - og designe vores egne robotidé.
Du skal overveje:
- Hvem vi du gerne hjælpe?
- Hvilken teknologi du vil bruge for at hjælpe?
- Hvordan din robot skal designes
Silvia og Jackii fortæller og om deres vej ind i robotteknologi – og hvordan det er at arbejde med teknologi, mennesker og problemløsning.
Du behøver ikke vide noget om robotter på forhånd. Bare kom med din nysgerrighed og lyst til at finde på noget, der kan gøre en forskel.
Måske er det dig, der får idéen til fremtidens træningsrobot?
Du lærer
- How robots help patients and healthcare professionals.
- Learn about two patient groups and the challenges they face in everyday life.
- Use creativity and problem-solving to design a robot that could help them.
- Work like an engineer by developing and presenting your own robot idea.
- Meet female engineering students and hear about their journey into STEM.

Silvia Tolu
I am an Electronic Engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and a Master's in Applied Linguistics, driven by a deep passion for advancing technology with real-world impact. My research goal is to develop innovative digital tools, AI solutions, and neurorobotics technologies that enhance healthcare, industry, and society.
As the Leader of the Neurorobotics Technology Laboratory (NRT-LAB) at DTU Electro, my research bridges AI, robotics, and neuroscience to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in neurodegenerative diseases. Collaborating with neuroscientists and clinicians, I work on non-invasive diagnostic tools, digital twins, and neurotechnology solutions to aid in the early detection and treatment of conditions like Parkinson’s disease.
Beyond healthcare, my work extends to industry-focused robotics, where I collaborate with AI specialists and industry leaders to develop AI-driven perception systems and energy-efficient, neuromorphic processors. My team develops bio-inspired advanced control systems for robotic applications, integrating smart vision and tactile sensors into next-generation collaborative robots.
These innovations aim to revolutionize robotics for smart manufacturing, automation, and human-robot collaboration.As an Associate Professor at DTU, I am dedicated to fostering diverse, socially responsible STEM research. I mentor the next generation of engineers and scientists, advocating for inclusivity and diversity. My dedication to empowering women in technology has been recognized in my selection as a finalist for the Nordic Women in Tech 2024 awards.
Beyond my professional work, I have a strong passion for natural language processing and computational linguistics, exploring how technology can bridge gaps in human communication. I love playing tennis and making bonsai trees. And as a mother of two, I am deeply committed to ensuring that technological advancements serve society with empathy, responsibility, and forward-thinking
