Before the first author joined the department, the research group around Prof. Nordmann exclusively focused on 'classic' Mechatronics issues, such as active magnetic bearings and squeeze film dampers . This changed in 2004, when the first author -- who had developed a hands-free control system for an electric wheelchair within the framework of his PhD thesis (see 1) -- became an active part of the group.
