Objective
• To design wearable exoskeletal support to
give motion for paralysed limbs
• The number of patients with brachial
plexus injuries is ever increasing in
Malaysia. The surgical options available
are limited and not very rewarding if not
done early.
• An exoskeletal supported robotic
appendage will be a viable option for
activities of daily living and function
• A Study of an EMG-Based Exoskeletal Robot for
Human Shoulder Motion Support

outcome of the projects
• The tech is still reseach level and not
commercialized in Japan and Germany.
• I believe we will be competitive to develop
the technology for regional dominance.
• Later on to develop a bio neural interface
to connect and command the motion of
robots.
