The Rehabilitation Robotics Lab is where medical studies meets robotics. In our lab, the study of ergonomics, human musculoskeletal modeling, and neuroscience goes hand-in-hand with control theory, robot dynamics and modeling, and robot vision. Programming is done in C++ and Python. Our goal is to make advancements in developing robotic solutions that deal with upper or lower limb rehabilitation. We focus on the movement impairments and disabilities caused by e.g. post-stroke, back injury, and neurological disorders. In our studies, we incorporate EMG measurements, a Franka Emika Panda lightweight manipulator, and a prototype of the Reactive Robotics VEMO® device (Very Early Mobilization Device) for the lower limb rehabilitation. In the near future, we are planning to add a robotic balance board for lower limb and deep back muscle rehabilitation.
