About
Charlotte Marchand is a leading researcher in the field of advanced upper-limb prosthetics, with a focus on restoring natural, multi-joint movement to amputees. Her work centers on developing intuitive control systems that allow users to simultaneously operate multiple degrees of freedom in a robotic arm, a critical step toward mimicking the fluidity of biological motion. Her most-cited paper, "Simultaneous Control of 2DOF Upper-Limb Prosthesis With Body Compensations-Based Control: A Multiple Cases Study" (2022, 20 citations), directly tackles the challenge of enabling coordinated joint control through myoelectric interfaces, demonstrating a novel approach that reduces unnatural compensatory body movements. Marchand also contributed to the "Smart ArM" platform (2024, 5 citations), a customizable and versatile robotic arm designed for both competitive events like Cybathlon and broader research applications. This platform provides a standardized testbed for developing and evaluating new control strategies. By bridging the gap between advanced mechatronics and practical, user-centered control, Marchand’s work is helping to define the next generation of prosthetic technology, making complex, multi-joint control more accessible and functional for everyday use.
