Project Description

There has been a surge in the use of wearables for sensing health indices such as blood pressure or body stress, to replace or augmenting physical capability [1-4]. Based on our experience in the fabrication of soft sensors and actuators, in this project, we aim to design, develop, and test advanced robotic wearables that increase the productivity and well-being of people at work, school or home.
This research will take place in the Sheffield Biomedical Robotics Laboratory. More details about the projects that run in our laboratory and publications are at the link: https://sites.google.com/site/danadamian/research
