Rehabilitation Robotics Lab (RRL)

Developing AR/VR simulations for education and health care

Developing Tele-Rehabilitation 2.0 (or Tele-Rehab 2.0) – a program that uses technology to mediate communication between remote patients/clinicians and urban specialists

Development of technology interfaces and manipulators for children who have physical and communicative impairment

Development of new techniques for telemedicine, patient-specific modeling using sensor fusion, and the application of telepresence technologies to medical training, simulation, and collaborative diagnostic

Developing new technologies to assess spinal structure and function, then using those technologies to evaluate various clinical intervention

Working on providing equal access to quality care for all Albertans, regardless of identity or ability

Simulations by applying video game development strategies, including programming and digital art expertise and incorporation artificial intelligence

Wheelchair biomechanics, which involves understanding the most efficient ways in which manual wheelchair users (MWUs) can propel themselves

Studying haptics and telerobotics, surgical and therapeutic robotics, and image-guided surgery

Filling these gaps by using an immersive, virtual world where the participant can go through similar real-world movements within the stationary confines of a VR cube

Capturing recordings that would be otherwise difficult in the real-world, including motion capture, electromyography and metabolic analysi
