SPECTRUM NEWS: University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee researchers create accessory to increase mobility for the disabled
UWM researchers are working on a robotic arm accessory that is designed to increase mobility for people with disabilities. Over the last four years, students studying Biomedical Informatics, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering have been working on this project. This research was partly funded with a grant from the National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research. Researchers say they will test the accessory this summer with actual patients.
