Knox College received a $199,736 Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041), awarded July 15, 2026, with completion scheduled for June 30, 2028. The project develops an accessible extended reality (XR) telepresence system designed to enable remote rehabilitation services by reducing hardware, infrastructure, and network bandwidth requirements for visualizing three-dimensional human motion. The system targets underserved populations including older adults, stroke and injury survivors, athletes in recovery, and individuals in rural communities with limited access to specialized clinicians and advanced therapy facilities. The research addresses three primary technical challenges: achieving high-fidelity motion rendering with minimal sensors and low network bandwidth; developing generalizable three-dimensional vision-language models that link body motion, video, and natural language; and implementing causal reasoning mechanisms to explain rehabilitation anomalies rather than merely detect them. Beyond the core research deliverable, the project includes educational components providing undergraduate research experiences and introducing new courses in three-dimensional computing and large language model programming at this primarily undergraduate institution. Local senior residents and physical therapists serve as design partners in community-based research efforts intended to strengthen a diverse science, technology, engineering, and mathematics workforce while advancing healthcare access equity.Federal Grant Award Summary
