Latest modeling/simulation paper from Ricky Pimentel, PhD asks a provocative question: Could walking with a diminished ankle push-off be a strategy used by older adults to mitigate the metabolic penalty we pay for lesser Achilles tendon stiffness? (1/3) journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Excited to share our new results on the GyroPack, a wearable robotic gyroscopic backpack that assists balance! doi.org/10.3390/health…

I'm actively recruiting talented PhD students to join my lab Georgia Tech. Applicants can apply to either the ECE department or ME department, with respective application deadlines of Dec. 16 and Jan. 15. If you (or someone you know) are interested, let me know!

A new #DeepLearning control framework can help exosuits for the lower body autonomously adapt to their wearer’s locomotive needs. Now out in Science #Robotics: scim.ag/6i5

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.

Calling all researchers in wearable robotic systems!! If you're interested in presenting your work at our BioRob 2024 workshop on AI/ML for estimation and control of wearable robotic systems, please apply! Submission Link: lnkd.in/dQWXv9t8

Can we make Transformers better and more efficient for robot learning? Excited to introduce Body Transformer (BoT), an architecture that leverages robot embodiment in the attention mechanism, by treating it as a graph of sensors and actuators.

Coming to BioRob2024? Last chance to submit a short abstract (poster/talk) for the AI-based Wearable Robot Control workshop! If your paper has been accepted, you can use it towards submission! shorturl.at/TVDDr Organizer: Maegan Tucker Patrick Slade Letizia Gionfrida Daekyum Kim

How do animals walk stably in the presence of intrinsic noise or external perturbations? biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We currently lack a unified answer to this question across species with diverse embodiment. In this preprint, we provide evidence that legged species use a common

I'm thrilled to share our new Science Robotics article "A Versatile Knee Exoskeleton Mitigates Quadriceps Fatigue in Lifting, Lowering, and Carrying Tasks", motivated by workplace injuries costing employers/insurers billions of dollars annually. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 1/n

Want to make humans and robots interact more effectively? "Human-in-the-loop optimization" is a promising approach to systematically improve human-robot outcomes across a wide array of use cases like assistive tech, med devices, education, and industry. nature.com/articles/s4158…

🎉 Diffusion-style annealing + sampling-based MPC can surpass RL, and seamlessly adapt to task parameters, all 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴-𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲! We open sourced DIAL-MPC, the first training-free method for whole-body torque control using full-order dynamics 🧵 lecar-lab.github.io/dial-mpc/

Join our team! The Shepherd Lab is recruiting one postdoc (flexible start) and one PhD student (Fall 2025). Project areas include mechatronic design for prosthetics and exos, preference-based optimization, data-driven control, and biomechanics. shepherdlab.sites.northeastern.edu/research/

Come join our team at UMass Robotics!! We are hiring at the Associate/Full level for a joint appointment in engineering and computer science. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. RTs appreciated :) careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/…

Interested in working with me at the intersection of AI and sensorimotor rehabilitation? Reach out to me and apply for this postdoctoral fellowship: computing.mit.edu/tayebati-postd… Your work could build on this paper we just wrote (tweetstorm forthcoming): nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our work newly published in Science Advances, presents an AI-based exoskeleton controller able to estimate states of ground slope and gait phase to provide assistance for community ambulation. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

I've seen plenty of great analysis on why this hasty policy change will devastate research hospitals and universities. I'll add that it's especially harmful to cut indirect costs without relaxing the regulatory regime that contributed to administrative bloat in the 1st place. 1/n
