Close-up of a thumb with a printed circuit on a plastic band wrapped around it, with two inset images showing scanning electron microscope images of layered materials, including a copper layer and a polymer film labeled PVDF-TrFE.

Project lead: Fully printed stretchable and wearable pressure and strain sensors

Diagram illustrating a cloud-based deep learning system controlling a powered exoskeleton. The user, wearing sensors including a soft pneumatic exoskeleton and a soft EMG sensor, activates muscles which are monitored and processed via cloud computing. The system generates movement commands for shoulder flexion and extension, shoulder strengthening, and elbow flexion and extension.

Intelligent exoskeletons controlled via wearable bioelectronics
