Agapay

The Agapay Exoskeleton is a 3D-printed wearable robot that is biomimetically designed to account for all the movements of the upper limbs. This device provides post-stroke and injured patients with a cost-efficient and high-performance rehabilitation system. A real-time biofeedback system is integrated to record neuromuscular activity using surface electromyography (sEMG). This device is able to perform active and passive motion exercises through gamification using integrated haptics and a graphical user interface.

In 2016, I earned my Master of Science degree in Manufacturing Engineering at De La Salle University, specialising in the product design and development of robotic systems and medical devices. My research, funded by the Philippine government, culminated in the launch of the Agapay Project, where I led and managed a team of nine researchers to deliver the first working prototype to stakeholders within 18 months.
