Assistive Robotics for Stroke Rehabilitation
Assistive Robotics for Stroke Rehabilitation
Designed a conceptual assistive robotics solution for stroke rehabilitation as part of a group academic project. The proposed system combines a social assistive robot for rehabilitation guidance and medication reminders with an AI-assisted robotic arm concept to support upper-limb movements. The project focused on system architecture, technology selection, workflow design, and evaluating the feasibility of integrating robotics and AI into rehabilitation.
