About the course

To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors.

　　The increasing demands on physical therapy services worldwide and improved survival rates from conditions such as stroke poses new challenges in healthcare. Intelligent robotic systems are regarded as a promising way to alleviate the burden on physiotherapy staff and budgetary resources while improving the patient outcome and the quality of life. Our research takes multi-disciplinary technologies to design and develop modular assistive/rehabilitation robotic devices which could potentially be used at clinical environments or home settings. To provide intelligent devices that can have a real impact on people's lives, we ly collaborate with universities, industrial companies and hospitals.
