Meet The Team

Hopebotics is a young start-up company located in Hong Kong Science and Technology Park (HKSTP), founded by two Professors from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) (Prof. Raymond Tong, Chairman of the Dept. of Biomedical Engineering; Prof. Zheng Li, the Dept. of Surgery) and Ph.D. Students. We dedicate to provide the latest soft wearable robotics for stroke rehabilitation. We collaborate with local clinicians and therapists to offer professional rehabilitation guidance and services. We worked hand-in-hand with 20+ local stroke associations and rehabilitation centers to conduct product development and clinical training. We are currently supported by the Incu-Bio Program (HKSTP) and TSSSU+ (CUHK).Hopebotics is committed to establish a platform integrated with soft wearable robotics technology that can provide rehabilitation, daily living assistance, and social functionalities to improve the quality of life of the elderly and disabled population.
