Mechanical engineer Jim Schmiedeler's robotic system will lead to help for stroke patients.
Mechanical engineer Jim Schmiedeler is using a robotic system to develop a mathematical model of motor coordination. Based on that model, Schmiedeler will collaborate with the university's divsion of physical therapy and department of physical medicine and rehabilitation to develop a robot to aid patients' physical rehabilitation. Over time, the device would help physical therapists gauge a patient's improvement.
