Why it matters beyond the lab:
· Robotics – A unified space‑time controller could give humanoid robots flexible balance strategy similar to the one our brains use.
· Clinical outlook – Wearable devices that add the physics of standing might offset age‑ or pathology-related neural delays, reducing falls in at‑risk populations

Who made this happen:
· Robot engineered at @UBCKin, UBC Faculty of Education
· International collaboration between Erasmus Medical College and @UBC
· Funded by @NSERC_CRSNG Research Tools & Instruments & Discovery Grants) and the UBC Kinesiology Equipment & Research Accelerator Fund.
We’re excited to keep exploring how space and time intertwine in the brain – and how that knowledge can keep both robots and people steadier on their feet.
