Embodied Tech: can humans embody augmentative robotics technology?

Wearable robotics are designed to enhance our physical abilities. While much funding is dedicated to developing such technologies, it is taken for granted that they will fuse seamlessly with our bodies (embodiment). Little research has been dedicated to how wearable robotics may be supported by the brain; this would require the brain to share resources – originally meant for control of the body – to operate the technology. Dr Makin will draw on neuroscience and experimental psychology to study the conditions necessary for wearable robotic technology to be embodied. She will focus on prosthetic limbs as a model to address questions about embodied technology, such as what conditions are necessary to consider an artificial limb a body part. It is hoped the project will guide how to incorporate robotics into human body representation more generally.
