BYU embraced by a rainbow this morning. Incidentally, at the very moment the rainbow appeared, I was listening to a podcast on Sir Isaac Newton's "Opticks", wherein he explains in systematic detail what causes rainbows. Life is beautiful and mysterious.

Our collaboration with CAYTU Robotics is pushing the boundaries of what's possible in autonomous delivery. The robots are 'crowdsourced,' opening up remote piloting from across the globe. #RoboticsResearch tinyurl.com/ucdfepzy

beautiful fall in Provo

Excellent experience working with IBEX Preclinical Research in Logan, Ut yesterday! Josh Packer and his team are excellent.

Here's my talk on crowdsourcing laparoscopic surgery delivered to BRII 2023 (briiafrica.org/en/): Fast forward to 11:35 youtube.com/watch?v=r9braK…

There’s a robot from Nebraska inside this thing!

Unveiling the resilience of preserved GI tissue: BYU undergrad Greg Hirst and team reveal how it retains mechanical properties post-preservation. A huge help to those who test with tissue that has been preserved frozen. t.ly/Fhc4B

Took my out-of-town family to breakfast at Joes Cafe Orem Utah. Loved the food and company, Joe!

Our new research on swallowable capsule localization is explained in 3 minutes by @byu ME engineering student, Luke Taylor. youtu.be/WAZ51CiY9vk He won 2nd place in the university's Three Minute Thesis competition!

@byu's Greg Hirst (ugrad) and Allison Crane (ugrad) and Luke Taylor (MS grad) will all be presenting at the Design of Medical Conference in Minneapolis this week. #dmd2024

@byu's ugrad Greg Hirst was selected to present his work in the 5-minute pitch competition at #dmd2024. He worked with Sean Crimmins and Ben Wankum from Nebraska Engineering to develop a robot that performs initial entry during laparoscopic surgery, thus removing one of the reasons

This semester's winners of @byu mechatronics competition: Cody Barth Addison Omdahl John Paul Stephen Porter Check out their perfect scoring and fastest in the class robot. Note: all this was done with a pic24f16ka301 microcontroller. No Arduinos!

Setting up our new biotester from CellScale Biomaterials Testing. The first question we are going to answer is how well ultrasound elastography measures soft tissue mechanical properties.

The Terry Research Lab (@byu) and the BioRobotics Institute (SantAnnaPisa) collaborated on a project to create an artificial pancreas. The implanted device refills its reservoir via swallowable insulin-carrying capsules. doi.org/10.1002/aisy.2… The project was conceived by

This is monumental for BYU College of Engineering. Total game changer.

New study: We developed RAPID, a device that can automatically detect entry into the abdominal cavity for laparoscopic procedures. This could enable remote telesurgery by removing the need for a surgeon to manually insert the initial trocar. Published in @ASMEJMedDevices.
