Augmenting Human Dexterity
 

As a part of the course, Augmenting Human Dexterity (MEC ENG 179/270 & DES INV 190-E) at UC Berkeley, I prototyped a novel solution to a disabilities-related challenge, focusing on upper-limb mobility or dexterity based on the biomechanics of human manipulation, tactile sensing and haptics, actuation and mechanism robustness, and control interfaces.
