On September 24-28, many members of the lab attended Rehab Week 2023 in Singapore to present their work at the International Consortium for Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR). This meeting is sponsored by both the IEEE Robotics & Automation Society (RAS) as well as Engineering Medicine & Biology Society (EMBS). Rehab Week included simultaneous meetings from nine different physical rehabilitation and rehabilitation technology societies. Attendees participated in one day of conference workshops before the remaining four days of talks and presentations. In their free time, attendees explored Singapore’s famous hawker food centers, botanical gardens, and diverse cultural neighborhoods!

Lab alumnus Aaron Wang presented an impressive podium talk on his paper titled “Correcting Temporal Inaccuracies in Labeled Training Data for Electromyographic Control Algorithms.”

Ph.D. students Michael Adkins, Monika Buczak, and Connor Olsen each presented posters on their papers of the following titles:

  • Adkins: “Automated Quantifiable Assessments of Sensorimotor Function Using an Instrumented Fragile Object”
  • Buczak: “Intuitive, Myoelectric Control of Adaptive Sports Equipment for Individuals with Tetraplegia”
  • Olsen: “Wrist EMG Improves Gesture Classification for Stroke Patients
