This project is aimed at developing a non-invasive strategy for the somatotopic and real-time restoration of proprioceptive perception for upper limb prosthesis users. The results of this project will be used in designing more effective hand prostheses.
This project develops affordable, multimodal instrumented insoles that combine pressure sensors and inertial measurement units to capture gait data. Random Forest and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models were trained to accurately classify gait phases and predict center of pressure coordinates.
This project aims to develop a personalized gait assistance for children with cerebral palsy using an ankle exoskeleton. This personalized assistive device improves walking efficiency and reduce fatigue while remaining comfortable and safe for daily use.
Modern passive ankle-foot exoskeletons do not exhibit appropriate biomechanics during walking, and are unable to adjust their mechanics for different phases of gait and for different environments. This project seeks to an ankle exoskeleton with a variable impedance mechanism to assist human locomotion. The device will dynamically adjust its stiffness to enhance the user's mobility and energy efficiency across different phases of gait.
Open-Arms is a lightweight active pediatric exoskeleton that supports shoulder and elbow movements offering adaptive assist-as-needed control.
This project aimed at developing an instrumented crutch intended for use with robotic exoskeletons. Its purpose is to support the user while also measuring the axial crutch force, estimating the crutch orientation using a 6-axis IMU, and transforming the measured load into Fx, Fy, and Fz components.
Aimed at creating a compact, high-torque, and efficient actuation system, CARE will enable the exoskeleton to deliver precise, powerful, and smooth movements.
The goal of this project was to design and evaluate a myoelectric tentacle-shaped prosthetic limb capable of adapting to objects through a continuous coiling motion.
