Members of BioRobotics Lab, led by Professor Habib Rahman, mechanical & biomedical engineering, demonstrated robotic assistive technologies they have developed at the annual Abilities Expo Chicago in June. The event showcases technologies and services for people with disabilities.
The students demonstrated two projects from the lab: a wheelchair-mounted assistive robot and a desktop therapy robot device. They also hosted a table promoting robotics learning opportunities at UWM.
This is the second year members of the lab have participated in the expo. Part of the booth is funded by Rahman’s research grant from ACL’s National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research.
