A new approach to modelling complex human/robot movement dynamics using techniques from machine learning
Advances in sensing and communications have made it easy to obtain large sets of measurements about an entity, activity or event. Read more
Impact of Augmented Reality on Movement and Spatial Navigation
There are a variety of health and safety issues that could occur from wearing head-mounted displays (HMDs), such as simulator sickness, or distraction, among others. Read more
Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach
This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.

Exploring Sensorimotor Function and Developing Rehabilitation Strategies using Experimental and Computational Approaches
In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team consisting of biologists, clinicians, engineers, mathematicians, and computational biologists and startups around the globe, we aim to decipher the organizational principles of sensorimotor function in mammals. Read more
Sensorimotor Augmentation through Supernumerary Robotics Limbs
The idea of artificial limbs controlled concurrently to natural arms has been popular in science fiction for ages but it is about to became reality thanks to the emerging paradigm of human augmentation [1]. . Read more

Understanding joint instability in the lower limb using diagnostic ultrasound and biomechanical evaluations (Ref:SHLS22115)
Research Group:
Musculoskeletal Health
Joint instability is a difficult concept to quantify and a complex rehabilitative challenge that presents across the spectrum of physical performance. Read more
Development of a collaborative robot – human-robot collaboration
Robots work effectively in factories. For example, in car factories, huge robotic arms pick up car parts and join them to the skeleton of the car, working at less than millimetre and millisecond precision. Read more
