Seven sponsored programmes are active. Each names the researchers working on it and the research areas it belongs to.
An integrated robotic rehabilitation platform for synergistic hand and wrist therapy, combining progressive rehabilitation modes with motion, force and muscle-activity assessment.
A wearable finger exoskeleton using shape-memory-alloy actuation and tendon-driven transmission to deliver controlled, repeatable tendon therapy.
An underactuated, variable-stiffness prosthetic hand with sEMG-based control that adapts its grasp the way a human hand does.
A wearable tactor that returns tactile and innocuous painful feedback to the residual limb, so prosthesis users can detect and correct grasp errors without watching.
A powered knee exoskeleton combining variable-radius pulleys with shape-memory-alloy springs for controllable torque and stiffness, with sensorless force estimation.
A compass-arranged stepping platform that trains rapid, automatic balance responses to help prevent falls.
Thermal therapy directed muscle by muscle, driven by continuous measurement of the involuntary activity that each muscle is producing.
