The lab has been busy this summer, and many exciting things are on the horizon for fall as well!
PI Dr. Elliott Rouse will be on sabbatical during the fall semester at the Boston Dynamics AI Institute. We wish him luck and can’t wait to hear about his time in Boston when he returns.
PhD student Emily Bywater has accepted an internship at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, IL, where she’ll be working on a knee-ankle prosthesis controller. Congratulations, Emily!
The Neurobionics lab welcomes incoming PhD students Varun Shetty (former lab Research Engineer) and David Lam. Happy to have you both!
In July, the lab hosted the Detroit chapter of the Hidden Genius Project (HGP) for an informative and interactive visit to Ford Robotics Building. The Hidden Genius Project trains and mentors Black male youth in technology creation, entrepreneurship, and leadership skills to transform their lives and communities. We were able to show off some of our recent projects to the HGP scholars, as well as providing an interactive demonstration of one of our exoskeletons. A great time was had by all, and we hope to see everyone again next year!
