Research summary
AI-generated

Bradley S. Duerstock works on technologies that help people with physical disabilities, including individuals with spinal cord injuries, participate more fully in daily life. His research spans wheelchair mobility and safety, accessible autonomous vehicles, assistive robotics, and AI-based tools for monitoring health conditions and assisting with tasks. Much of the work combines engineering design with human factors testing to make environments, vehicles, and devices more usable for people with disabilities.
