Welcome to Neuro-Robotics Lab
Dr. Jaydip Desai is the principal investigator of the Neuro-Robotics Lab at Wichita State University. The lab focuses on Brain-Machine Interface, Rehabilitation Robotics, Orthotics and Prosthetics.
Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) is a novel technology that can aid paralyzed patients to replace or restore useful physiological functions using electrical impulses from human brain. The PI and his team work on noninvasive methods to acquire multimodal signals from human brain, develop signal processing techniques, implement artificial neural network algorithms, and extract features to control various robotics devices using motor imaginary signals and steady state visual evoked potential signals from human brain. Real time BMI techniques are being developed to control virtual scenarios, multiple robotic hands, limbs and automobile robots using artificially intelligent algorithms.
Robotics technology is growing and researchers have shown the use of robotic technology to improve, support, or assist person with disabilities. Research group from the lab is working on designing next generation (intelligent and cost-effective) orthotic, prosthetic, and rehabilitation devices to support and/or assist person with disabilities including but not limited to Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, and Cerebral Palsy.
