Research Summary
Dr. Krebs has one main tool and two overarching goals: The tool is robotics. The goals are: (1) to revolutionize the practice of rehabilitation medicine by applying robotics and information technology that can assist, enhance, and quantify rehabilitation - particularly neuro-rehabilitation; and (2) to improve productivity in agriculture by applying robotics and information technology, particularly in sugarcane farming.
