Our Research

Wearable robotics and exoskeleton

We carry out research in wearable robotics and exoskeletons, with a particular emphasis on rehabilitation and sports safety. Our work bridges the gap between engineering innovation, medical rehabilitation, and the biomechanics of movement, aiming to create intelligent devices that seamlessly integrate with the user's body to enhance physical abilities, aid in recovery, and prevent injuries. Current research projects include:

  1. Guiding hand rehabilitation using soft robotic gloves via computer vision
  2. Wearable knee exoskeletons for ACL injury prevention
  3. Origami-inspired personal protection equipment
