The HiMEX Lab at the University of Glasgow is a multidisciplinary research group dedicated to exploring the Interface, Interaction, and Interconnection between the human body and artificial materials and devices. The ultimate goal is to achieve seamless integration between biology and mechano-electronics.

Our current research focuses on the human sensorimotor system. Inspired by physiology and neuroscience, we are developing innovative, soft, and biocompatible electronic devices (sensors and actuators) interfacing with human body to study the interaction processes between humans and their environment quantitatively. Our work aims to advance the next generation of rehabilitation equipment, prosthetics, robotic touch, and mixed reality haptic feedback systems, enabling a natural interconnection from artificial devices to human. Our primary research areas include:

1) Design and Fabrication of Soft Electronic Device & Systems (Electronic Skin)

2) Connecting Prosthetic Tactile to the Nervous System

3) Haptic Feedback and Teleoperation
