Project Description
The research proposed in this project directly focused on the priority research topic of the: Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology (DGCG), to develop assistive technologies/robotics/ to enable and support elderly individuals to live independently and safely at home, provide mobility assistance, or exercise and rehabilitation assistance. Our long-standing expertise in rehab/assistive robotics has given us a solid foundation to contribute to DGCG’s mission. Therefore, in this research, we propose to develop a novel Wheelchair mounted smart robotic exoskeleton (WMSRE) that will provide (i) mobility assistance via a wheelchair and an assistive robotic exoskeleton mounted on it; (ii) exercise and rehabilitation assistance; and (iii) support them (EDI) to live independently at home by assisting in ADL.
