Medical Applications

3D Optical Reconstruction of Cell Shape - Reconstruction of 3D cell shapes using optical microscope	3D Video Reconstruction of Skeletal Anatomy - This project aims to reconstruct from video sequences the 3D shape of skeleton of mouse fetuses (for pharmaceutical research) stored inside vials with glycerol.
Anatomically Correct Testbed (ACT) Hand - We are building a dynamic model of the human hand that is anatomically correct.	Automatic Segmentation of Proteomic Images - Segmentation and quantification of protein differences between two proteomic images.
Computer-Assisted Seating System - investigate the relationship between seating surface shape and soft tissue distortion using direct measurements	Hand Exoskeleton - We are developing an exoskeletal hand for patients suffering from a loss of precise control in the upper limbs and hands.
Haptic Exploration - Modeling tissue characteristics for surgical simulation	High Performance Computing for Robot-Assisted Surgery - High Performance Computing for Robot-Assisted Surgery
Human Computer Interaction for Computer Assisted Surgery	Joint Replacement Biomechanics - Biomedical simulation of hip replacement
Knowledge-Guided Deformable Registration - Matching corresponding anatomical structures across individuals, detecting possible pathologies.	Life-Size Safer Haptic Environment - We are constructed large-scale haptic devices for life-size environments.
Medical Imaging - Analysis of sequences of microscope images for the recovery of significant events and mutations in cell development	Mini Bone-Attached Robotic System - This research seeks to develop a novel computer-assisted and robotic tool that will enable fewer and minimally invasive surgical techniques for orthopaedic surgery.
Neuromuscular Hand Control - We are quantifying the development of motor synergies in the human hand.	Personal Robotic Assistants For The Elderly - Pearl will help researchers explore the ways autonomous mobile robots can help the elderly live independently in their own homes.
Portable Wearable Movement Tracking System - We are developing a completely portable and wearable sensor system that accurately tracks and records human limb movements.	Sensory Transfer Systems for the Sensory Impaired - We are developing a sensory transfer system to assist and enhance the manipulation abilities of the sensory impaired.
