Research Projects: Robotics and physical human-machine interactions in biomedical applications. We use analytical and experimental approaches that integrate dynamics and control. mathematical modeling. and use of experimental platforms with human subject testing to develop new principles and tools. These principles are applicable for robotic applications in soft robotics. rehabilitation, and biomedical engineering fields.
