Applied Mechatronics and Biomedical Engineering Research

The Applied Mechatronics and Biomedical Engineering Research (AMBER) Group is the re-branding of Intelligent Nano-Tera Systems Research Group, which was established in 2009.

The mission of the AMBER Group is to undertake fundamental and applied research in the key areas of applied mechatronics and biomedical engineering to solve real-world problems through a network of partnerships and collaborations. These areas include;

  • Soft robotics
  • Wearable devices
  • Medical robotics
  • Rehabilitation robotics
  • Prosthetics, orthotics and assistive devices
  • Biomechanics
  • Innovative manufacturing 
  • Smart actuators and sensors
  • System dynamics and control
  • Smart materials and structures
  • Human-machine/robot interaction
  • Mechanisms design and their application in biomedical engineering
