Lab Scope
Overview
Human-Machine Symbiosis
We build systems where biological signals, AI perception and mechatronics work as one: from brain–computer interfaces to assistive mobility, haptic feedback and closed-loop control.
Design Principles
Safety-by-design • Low-latency loops • Privacy-preserving telemetry • Modular hardware • Regulatory readiness (ISO/IEC, IEC 60601 family) • Field-serviceable builds.
Core Pillars
Neural Interfaces
EEG/EMG/SSVEP stacks, intent decoding, adaptive neuro-feedback, co-pilot UX for patient & operator.
Prosthetics & Haptics
Sensorized sockets, myoelectric control, multi-modal haptics (vibro/pressure/temperature).
Exoskeletons
Gait assistance, industrial load-bearing frames, fall-prevention with predictive control.
Bio-sensing & Twins
PPG, IMU, pressure arrays, SLAM-assisted kinematics; subject-specific digital twins for tuning.
Edge AI & Control
On-device inference, sensor fusion, MPC/PID hybrids, ROS2 & real-time comms (CAN/ETH).
Safety & Ethics
Risk catalogs, red-teaming, consent & data minimization, audit trails, explainable Rx decisions.
Platforms & Tech Stack
Signal Stack
EEG/EMG capture • DSP pipelines • artifact rejection • intent classifiers.
Control Stack
Trajectory planners • force/torque control • adaptive gains • safety interlocks.
Hardware
Custom PCBs • sensor hubs • battery & power • wearable enclosures.
Active Projects
Neuro-Cursor
Hands-free computer control via SSVEP/EMG hybrid with adaptive calibration.
Haptic Hand v2
Myoelectric prosthetic with multi-zone tactile feedback & grasp libraries.
Lift-Assist EXO
Industrial exosuit for safe repetitive lifts with fatigue prediction.
Safety, Compliance & Trials
Risk & QA
FMEA, HAZOP, test benches, simulation-in-the-loop; staged rollouts with gated approvals.
Data & Privacy
On-device encryption, key-split HSM options, consent ledger, role-based access & audit trails.
