MSc by Research in Electronic and Electrical Engineering - Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics

University of Leeds

The increasing demands on physical therapy services worldwide and improved survival rates from conditions such as stroke poses new challenges in healthcare. Intelligent robotic systems are regarded as a promising way to alleviate the burden on physiotherapy staff and budgetary resources while improving the patient outcome and the quality of life. Our research takes multi-disciplinary technologies to design and develop modular assistive/rehabilitation robotic devices which could potentially be used at clinical environments or home settings. To provide intelligent devices that can have a real impact on people's lives, we closely collaborate with universities, industrial companies and hospitals.
