A low-cost stroke-rehabilitation gym
A compact, transportable rehab gym with haptic feedback — designed for hospitals and homes alike.
Penn’s Rehabilitation Robotics Lab builds devices that help people recover movement after stroke. I led the product design of an affordable, compact version — one that could be moved between wards, shipped to clinics with few resources, and used by patients at home — with haptic feedback to keep exercise engaging.
A provisional patent was filed, and the work became the foundation for Recupero Robotics.
In parallel I co-authored a study of older adults interacting with a mobile assistive robot (IROS 2017).
