MOVE Center
The MOVE Center at Kennesaw State University is dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research and innovation in rehabilitation and assistive technologies by bringing together faculty expertise across engineering, health sciences, computing, and related fields.
Our mission is to support the development of impactful solutions that can improve mobility, health, and quality of life for individuals and communities.
Robotics in Mobility
Prosthetics and orthotics, Upper- and lower-limb exoskeletons, Soft robotics and compliant mechanisms, Rehabilitation robotics
Brain Neural Interface
Brain-computer interfaces, Neuro prosthetics
Mobility Science
Gait analysis and locomotion research, Biomechanics of movement disorders, Postural control and balance, Wearable sensors for motion tracking
Digital Health
mHealth technology for rehabilitation, AI and machine learning for health monitoring, Remote patient monitoring
We had a fantastic turnout and engagement at the joint workshop with Georgia Tech, with more than 130 attendees. It was truly energizing to see the level of participation, collaboration, and student involvement. Special thanks to Dr. Karin Scarpinato for the welcoming talk and Dr. Mark Geil for his great talk.
We are especially proud of all our students:
Vanessa Young – 2nd Best Oral Presentation. Supervisor: Ayse Tekes
Anurag Ovi – 3rd Best Oral Presentation. Supervisor: Paul Lee
Connor Talley – Best Poster Award. Supervisor: Ayse Tekes
This is exactly the kind of student-driven success that defines MOVE.

To further investigate how people move, recover, and live, Kennesaw State University’s Office of Research recently established the MOVE Center, focused on rehabilitation and assistive technologies like soft robotics and artificial intelligence.
The MOVE Center’s research is organized into four primary focus areas: rehabilitation robotics and assistive devices, neural interface technology, mobility science and human performance, and digital health and data-driven diagnostics. These areas include work on prosthetics and orthotics, upper- and lower-limb exoskeletons, soft robotics, and rehabilitation robotics.
