Research

Building technology that moves people forward.

Our projects span four connected themes — from body-worn devices to the robots and neuromuscular science behind recovery.

Wearables & Prosthetics

Body-worn sensing and actuation — smart insoles, exo-devices, and prosthetic interfaces that measure movement and give support where people need it most.

INSTRUMENTED INSOLE — Wearables & Prosthetics INSTRUMENTED INSOLE

A low-cost instrumented insole that reads gait in real time to help control lower-limb exoskeletons.

PERL — Wearables & Prosthetics PERL

A personalized ankle exoskeleton giving children with cerebral palsy adaptive gait assistance.

View project
OPEN-ARMS — Wearables & Prosthetics OPEN-ARMS

An open-source, lightweight pediatric arm exoskeleton offering assist-as-needed shoulder and elbow support.

View project
FLORA — Wearables & Prosthetics FLORA

A semi-active ankle orthosis that tunes joint stiffness to assist walking without restricting it.

View project
TENS PROSTHESIS — Wearables & Prosthetics TENS PROSTHESIS

Non-invasive nerve stimulation that restores proprioceptive feedback to a robotic hand prosthesis.

View project
TENTACLE ROBOT — Wearables & Prosthetics TENTACLE ROBOT

A soft, myoelectric tentacle prosthesis that coils to grasp objects of many shapes and sizes.

Rehabilitation Robots

Robotic and haptic platforms that guide, resist, and adapt to a patient’s effort — retraining reaching, grasping, and gait through precise, repeatable therapy.

ROBOREHAB-6D — Rehabilitation Robots ROBOREHAB-6D

Adaptive assist-as-needed control that tailors robotic upper-limb therapy to each patient’s effort.

View project
ROBOREHAB-2D — Rehabilitation Robots ROBOREHAB-2D

A low-cost, open-source planar robot for motivating, game-based upper-limb rehabilitation.

View project
HAPTIC3D — Rehabilitation Robots HAPTIC3D

A reproducible, affordable 3-DOF haptic robot for pediatric upper-limb rehabilitation.

View project
HAPTICMASTER — Rehabilitation Robots HAPTICMASTER

A 3-DOF arm-support mechanism that adds wrist motion to the HapticMaster rehab robot.

View project

Neuromuscular Control

Understanding how the nervous system drives movement — combining biomechanics, EMG, and modelling to decode and restore neuromotor control.

POSTURAL CONTROL VISION — Neuromuscular Control POSTURAL CONTROL VISION

Modelling how vision drives human balance using VR perturbations and system identification.

View project
POSTURAL CONTROL INTERACTIONS — Neuromuscular Control POSTURAL CONTROL INTERACTIONS

Quantifying how vision and proprioception interact in human postural control.

View project
