Research program:
Self-Actualization and Well-Being: Wearable Hybrid Robotic Suits
We take many daily activities for granted – walking with a spouse or friend, playing with children, shopping in a store, using a bathroom on time and independently – until we have reduced mobility. Most importantly, reduced mobility leads to degenerative fitness and health problems. This program focuses on the challenges of improving mobility due to its potential for high societal impact. This program seeks to generate a novel design and development workflow for the creation of hybrid human/robot systems in which wearable systems can be designed quickly and deployed in such a way that the wearable device learns through a process of continual, mutual learning between human and machine, rather than through more traditional approaches involving extensive controls programming.
