Smart and AI-Enabled Wearable Mechanomyography Interface

About Us

Our VIP focuses on assembling a research team that builds smart wearable devices. 

What is our vision?

Our vision is to create a Machine Learning enabled wearable device.

Medical Use: We want the wearable device to help amputees, Parkinson's patients, and stroke patients. We aim to capture the patient’s movement intention and control their prosthetics and assistive devices to improve their quality of life.

Industrial Use: We want to utilize the wearable to control exoskeletons used by industrial workers whose tasks involve heavy weight lifting for prolonged periods of time.

AR/VR Integration: We want to replace the current state of the technology that utilizes handheld controllers and motion tracking cameras. This limits the user's movement and the space they can utilize when engaging in the virtual world. We want to exploit our wearable device’s wireless and gesture classification capabilities to help users engage in the virtual world more seamlessly.
