Neurorobotics Lab @ UoM
Welcome to the Neurorobotics Lab (NRL) at the University of Manchester. Led by Dr. Zhenhong Li, we conduct research at the intersection of neuroscience, biomechanics, and robotics, with a focus on brain–computer interfaces, neuromusculoskeletal modeling, and robot-assisted interventions. We aim to understand human neuromechanical function, advance physiological signal processing, and develop intelligent control systems for assistive and medical robots. Our mission is to develop human-centered assistive and rehabilitative technologies to improve quality of life through interdisciplinary innovation.
We welcome students from a wide range of backgrounds: biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer science, control engineering, and robotics.
