University of Texas Engineering Team Develops Robotic Arms Designed to Assist
  with PT
From: PT Products - 10/24/2015

Mechanical engineering students at the University of Texas have developed
robotic arms that can reportedly assist wearers with performing physical
therapy movements.

Dubbed HARMONY, the robotic arms are the product of 4 years of research at
the university's ReNeu Robotics Lab, and they work by wrapping around a
patient’s arms as an exoskeleton and moving with a patient's arm movements,
per a news story that appeared recently in the campus newspaper, The Daily
Texan.

Mechanical engineering doctoral student BongSu Kim, lead designer at the lab,
notes in the news story that the HARMONY robot can be programmed to guide a
patients arms, provide additional movement support at various degrees
depending on the patient's needs, and record data during use.
