Welcome

In Human-centered Design Lab., our core research focuses on the design and development of prostheses and exoskeletons. Our current research themes are summarized as:

 

 

 

 

Theme 1: Robotic Prosthetics: Lower extremity

WalkMECH is designed as passive transfemoral prosthesis to assist walking with energy storage and recycling between joints...

 

Theme 2: Robotic Prosthetics: Upper extremity

HandMECH and WristMECH are designed and developed as body-powered passive upper extremity prostheses...

 

Theme 3: Robotic Test platform for Prosthetics and Exoskeletons

Robotic test platforms can provide significant advantages for developing prostheses and exoskeletons before evaluating them on individuals...

 

Theme 4: Light-weight and Compact Lower Body Exoskeleton for Load Carrying

In a similar manner to WalkMECH, we would like to develop a slim, lightweight, energy storing&releasing and energy-recycling exoskeleton...

 

Theme 5: Self-aligning lower body exoskeletons for Assisting Sit-to-Stand and Walking

KneExo is built to assist people during walking and sit-to-stand by storing and releasing energy for the knee joint...

 

Theme 6: Robotic Balance Rehabilitation Platform

BalanSens is built for complete rehabilitation of individuals via robotic actuators and multi-modal feedback system...
