GRASP Seminar: Biing-Chwen Chang, National Taiwan University, “Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics – Design and Applications”
August 28 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
*This seminar will be held in-person in Levine 307 as well as virtually via Zoom. This seminar will NOT be recorded.
ABSTRACT
The common applications of robots are industrial arms and service robots that assist people in finishing their work. Thus, the versatility of the robots can also provide daily assistance and rehabilitation for those with mobility impairments. This talk will use neck assistive devices and an end-effector-based pelvic rehabilitation platform as examples to introduce the design and application of assistive devices. Other ongoing work in the lab will also be covered in this talk.
