USF GROUP presents research to state legislatures

March 5, 2009

The Center for Assistive & Rehabilitation Robotics Technologies (CARRT) of Mechanical Engineering headed by Dr. Rajiv Dubey of Mechanical Engineering gave a presentation on SUS Research to the Senate Higher Education Appropriations Committee chaired by Senator Evelyn Lynn.

The presentation was an example of research being done at state funded Florida universities and their impact on Florida’s  society and economy. 

The mission of the center is to improve the quality of life, and increase independence and community reintegration of individuals with reduced functional capabilities due to aging, disability or traumatic injury, as in the case of our wounded warriors, through integrated research and education in assistive and rehabilitation technologies in collaboration with consumers, clinicians, government and industry partners.
