Project Summary

Intelligent Wearable Robotics
Development of intelligent wearable robotic devices

• to augment individual skills
• to improve workflow
• improve task performance
• explore HRI in the realm of physical interactions
• use as a body-mounted two-hand haptic interface for VR

Research Goals

• Develop series of wearable robotic arms each more capable than the previous
• Test candidate designs and revise specifications for each next generation design
• Support experimentation with arm commanding via NLP, gesterual input, gaze tracking, haptic demonstration and other modalities
