Huge congratulations to Jenny Leestma (Jenny Leestma, GaTech PoWeR Lab) and Keaton Scherpereel on receiving the #NSFGRFP Fellowship!! We're very proud of you two! Robotics@GT Georgia Tech ME

We have a Dr. in the house! Congratulations to Dr. Jonathan Camargo (Jonathan Camargo) who successfully defended his dissertation, becoming the first doctoral student to graduate from the EPIC Lab! Robotics@GT Georgia Tech ME

Our new JNER article explores why people with below-knee amputation may prefer a certain prosthesis stiffness-- Energetics? No. Kinematic symmetry? Possibly. (1/2) jneuroengrehab.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

We're back (exo)! We're excited to introduce our lab's back #exoskeleton, recently published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO). Fantastic work by Jared Li, Dean Molinaro, Andrew King, Ani Mazumdar, and Aaron Young.

You can read a bit more about our lab's back #exo in a new @GTResearchNews article! Check out the article here: research.gatech.edu/how-make-exosu… Find the paper here: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/95598…

.Robert Downey Jr here I come! Thrilled to try out the hip exosekeleton developed in the EPIC Lab with Aaron Young, Dean Molinaro, and others! Thank you for letting me try it out!

Congratulations to Dr. Krishan Bhakta for successfully defending his dissertation!! Krishan Bhakta's work focused on improving intelligence of robotic transfemoral prostheses. Georgia Tech ME

Recently, two superstars, Heejoo Jin (mid) and Gayeon Choi (right), both presented their work at the #EMBC! I’m always amazed by how stellar our undergraduate students are Georgia Tech. EPIC Lab, we constantly support young scientists to lead their own research.

Please check out our newest publication! Using wearable sensors, we can accurately estimate biological hip flexion/extension moments over various terrains!

Our recent work using deep learning for ankle exo control is out now in IEEE RA-L and will be presented by Max Shepherd at #icra2022! Great initial results with the #opensource trained model parameters available for anyone using the Dephy #exoboots.

We're excited to share that our mechanical engineering graduate program has moved up to 4th in the nation out of 180 programs ranked by U.S. News & World Report. Nuclear engineering is ranked 9th, and Georgia Tech College of Engineering is 7th overall.

I've taken a lot of pictures over the last 10 years at Georgia Tech College of Engineering. This is one of a Ph.D. student helping one of his colleagues with a hip exoskeleton is of my favorites. Taken in the EPIC Lab. They're doing amazing work.

Huge congratulations to my advisor Dr. Aaron Young! I’m so grateful to get to work in the EPIC Lab!

CONGRATULATIONS to Carlos and Christoph (Christoph Nuesslein), both first-year Robotics@GT PhD students in our lab, on receiving the #NDSEG fellowship! We are all so proud of you two!!

Continuously estimating human ambulation mode in time can lead to more reliable and seamless exoskeleton control. Please check out or most recent work by Inseung Kang using deep learning to continuously estimate the mode using only a few wearable sensors!

Join the @Epic_Lab team in Philly on the 23rd at IEEE ICRA for a great #workshop, Online Machine Learning-Based Control of Lower-Limb Exoskeletons. See the schedule here epic.gatech.edu/icra2022/ #machinelearning 4 #robotic #exoskeleton

We’re looking forward to a great lineup of talks, panels, and posters tomorrow at #ICRA2022! Don’t miss our workshop on Online Machine Learning-Based Control of Lower Limb Exoskeletons. More info: epic.gatech.edu/icra2022/

I'm recruiting PhD students for Fall 2023; If you are interested in either advanced mechatronic design or machine learning-based control of assistive devices, please reach out! Examples of past projects on my lab site: shepherdlab.sites.northeastern.edu

Thank you so much to everyone in the EPIC Lab for all of the support (and coffee) over the last five years. I will miss you all!

Check out our new paper in Science Robotics! We're excited to share our framework for intelligent task agnostic exoskeleton control. Great work from Drs. Dean Molinaro, Inseung Kang, and Aaron Young.
