Wearable Mechatronics
EF 2020-21
Résumé
Billions of people around the world suffer from diseases that make it difficult to move. Advanced wearable technologies are a possible solution to many mobility problems, but they need to be made lighter and smaller, and to automatically respond to the person’s needs. Dr. Trejos’ research program is aimed at developing smart wearable garments to support upper-body mobility. With unique designs that integrate hardware within clothing, and software that can intelligently respond to the user, her work has the potential to restore mobility and increase quality of life for those who suffer daily from an upper body disability.
