Our group is dedicated to pioneering cutting-edge wearables, robotics, and AI technologies that transcend traditional human physical capabilities, aiming to redefine the boundaries of human mobility.

At Carnegie Mellon University’s MetaMobility Lab, led by Dr. Inseung Kang, our focus is on advancing wearable assistive technologies, such as robotic exoskeletons, to enhance human mobility. Our interdisciplinary research spans the development of mechatronic platforms and the application of artificial intelligence for interpreting diverse human motions. The core objective is to scientifically understand and engineer wearable devices that can improve mobility for individuals with motor impairments. By optimizing the control mechanisms of wearable robotic systems through the integration of versatile hardware design, AI algorithms, and insights into human biomechanics, our work aims to create more intelligent, intuitive wearable systems. Dr. Kang’s expertise across robotics and AI in understanding human movement positions us to tackle the challenges of human-robot interaction, aiming for wearable robotics that can adapt across various locomotor tasks and user needs. This effort seeks to establish a foundation for the broader application of wearable interventions in daily life, pushing the boundaries of current mobility assistance technologies.
