Advanced Robotics for Augmentation, Rehabilitation, and Assistance (ARARA)
ARARA is a research laboratory in the Biomedical Engineering division of the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, Scotland. We are interested in helping people with robotics solutions that can improve their quality of life through rehabilitation, daily life assistance, and performance augmentation. Our current research projects focus on the following areas:
Development of soft exoskeletons, with novel, modular, and affordable designs for force augmentation of healthy and limited-mobility people.
Design assistive devices to allow people with limited mobility to better execute daily life tasks.
Design of simple robotic and bionic hands for robust grasping and dexterous manipulation.
Soft sensors for tracking body activity and improving the performance of athletes during physical training.
Novel materials and manufacturing processes that facilitate the development of wearable systems and sensors.
Soft Exoskeleton Glove with Variable Stiffness Joints, Abduction Capabilities, and a Telescopic Thumb
