The Slade Lab

We improve personal mobility to help people live fulfilling lives.

Welcome!

We develop devices to overcome mobility challenges and help people live fulfilling lives. We accomplish this by combining biomechanics, advanced robotic devices, and human-centered artificial intelligence to create effective systems. We aim to translate this research into impactful products to improve everyday mobility. We will be admitting PhD students this Fall. Please reach out and apply if interested!
