About

Sandro Weber is a leading researcher at the intersection of neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence, with a primary focus on neurorobotics and the embodiment of brain models. His most impactful contribution is the development of the Neurorobotics Platform (NRP) for the Human Brain Project, a comprehensive simulation framework that connects biologically realistic spiking neural networks to virtual and real robots. This work, cited over 117 times, enables researchers to validate brain models by exposing them to dynamic sensory environments. Weber also pioneered the Collaborative Virtual Reality Neurorobotics Lab, allowing multiple users to interact with neurorobotic experiments in immersive VR, fostering remote collaboration. His applied research includes using spiking neural networks to classify human sEMG signals and trigger finger reflexes on robotic hands, bridging the gap between human motor control and robotics. With over 180 total citations, Weber’s work is foundational for embodied AI, offering tools and frameworks that accelerate the study of how brains control bodies in realistic settings.
