Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Wearable Robotics and Experimental Biomechanics
- Location
- Oxford, England, United Kingdom
Engineering Science (central Oxford). The post is funded by UKRI and is fixed-term to 31st May 2028. You will develop wearable robotic devices that deliver assistive forces and joint torques, with a particular focus on upper-body movement. The research will combine soft robotic actuation, device … fabrication and experimental biomechanics. You will be responsible for: 1. Designing and fabricating wearable soft robotic devices that provide mechanical assistance during upper-body movements. 2. Developing experimental protocols to characterise actuator force, joint assistance, range of motion and the transfer of loads between the device and the body. ...
