From powered prostheses like the Utah Leg and the Luke hand to exoskeletal devices like the Utah Neck Exo, the University of Utah Robotics Center is at the forefront of the nation's research in rehabilitative, assistive, and wearable robotics. Leveraging close collaborations with the University of Utah Hospital, located on the same Salt Lake City campus, the Center has committed to developing technologies to improve people's lives. The Center’s important achievements have attracted significant funding from federal and private sectors to support our students who continue to advance the field.
