Our Mission

We aim to transform the workforce by providing a transparent and lightweight garment that offers “POWERS” to safely execute strenuous tasks. Our technology seeks to:

Enhance Well-being: Reduce overexertion injury risks and support those suffering from Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases (RMDs).

Future-proof Jobs: Improve work performance and efficiency, keeping workers in charge of their lives for longer.

Innovate Holistically: Move beyond isolated joint assistance to provide a complete, poly-articular upper-limb solution.

Core Research Areas

Human-in-the-Loop Design: Ensuring the exosuit conforms to intricate human kinematics and provides personalized assistive forces (5-25% of muscle effort)

Fabric-Based Soft Robotics: Utilizing the mechanical anisotropy of high-strength fabrics to create collapsible, high-power-to-weight ratio actuators.

Distributed Sensing & Control: Implementing a network of embedded soft sensors and model-free adaptive control to track user intent in real-time.

Methodology

• WP1: Design of Fabric Soft Pneumatic Actuators and Sensors.
• WP2: Human-in-the-loop and Biomechanical Design.
• WP3: Distributed Control Architecture and Intent Tracking.
• WP4: System Integration and Evaluation.
