Wearable Robotics

We investigate and develop novel soft wearable robots for natural interactions and symbiosis between humans and robots.
Traditional human-robot interaction often requires funneling rich sensory-motor information through simplified computer interfaces, such as visual displays and joysticks, that demand cognitive effort. We explore new forms of bidirectional and embodied interactions where humans and machines interact and feel with their entire bodies. We are especially interested in human symbiosis with non-anthropomorphic machines that operate at different spatial and temporal scales, such as small flying machines.
