Current Projects
Check out the research we are currently working on at the Weir Biomechatronics Development Laboratory.
3D Printed Fingers for Women Veterans
To address this need for partial fingers of smaller sizes, we are creating reliable and robust ratcheting prosthetic fingers for women, children, and pediatric populations with partial hand amputations.
Orthosis for Brachial Plexus Injuries
Existing orthoses for complete Brachial Plexus Injuries do not solve the issue of lack of prehension after injury and are often to heavy and bulky for this population to effectively use.
Actuators
Twisted Liquid Crystal Elastomers, Series Elastic Actuators, Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic (HASEL) actuators, Shape Memory Alloy Actuators

Biomimetic Prosthesis-Orthosis Hybrid
This project aims to evaluate and optimize an existing biomimetic prosthesis-orthosis hybrid prototype from the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory at the Anschutz Medical Campus using motion capture techniques with the Interdisciplinary Movement Science Laboratory
