Great new work from @GT_EPIC_Lab ! Moving Assistive Mobility Forward with AI presents an exoskeleton controller that holistically captures major terrain variations encountered during community walking in real-time🤖👨🔬💫💫

Proud and excited to finally share this awesome project in Nature! We used a real-time data-driven estimate of biological joint moment as a continuous, task-agnostic signal to base our exoskeleton actuator torque around.

Engineers in @MEGeorgiaTech @GT_EPIC_Lab have created an AI-driven controller for robotic exoskeletons that helps users in dozens of real-world tasks — even those it wasn’t trained for. Out today in @Nature: b.gatech.edu/40Eq75C

Wearable robots that assist leg movements could transform the lives of people with reduced mobility — but only if the devices can adapt in real time to support a vast range of human activities go.nature.com/48LTvZy

Researchers at Georgia Tech, including Associate Professor Gregory S. Sawicki and recent graduate Jordyn Schroeder, have seen evidence that regular wearing of high heels demonstrated changes in the calf muscle & Achilles tendon providing further benefits.

Aaron Young, associate professor in the Woodruff School, and his team have developed a universal approach to controlling robotic exoskeletons that requires no training, no calibration, and no adjustments to complicated algorithms.
A big hurdle to real-world use of robotic assistance devices like exoskeletons is the calibration & training required for users. What if that wasn’t needed @GT_EPIC_Lab researchers describe a controller in @SciRobotics that’s a key step in that direction. b.gatech.edu/3THqXdY

Excited to have completed my PhD @GTrobotics and have started a role @JHUAPL! I'm looking forward to contributing to impactful research efforts on robotic autonomy to support national security.
Very thankful for the support of many mentors, friends, and family.

Incredible second day @NextProf_Engin! I’ve learned a ton about applying to and starting a faculty career and have had a blast meeting other aspiring academics.
Huge thanks to @gatechengineers @UMengineering @Cal_Engineer for organizing such a helpful and comprehensive event. – at Atlanta, GA
Dozens of aspiring engineering faculty members are at Georgia Tech this week to learn what that path really means and prepare for their careers. We’re proud to welcome them w/our partners @Cal_Engineer & @UMengineering. b.gatech.edu/3Ejufvk

Two proud papas! Great run for @BA_Shafer bridging @GT_PoWeR_Lab and @GT_EPIC_Lab over the past 5 years coming to an end. Be on the lookout for Ben’s papers comparing performance of hip vs. ankle exoskeletons to increase overground self-selected walking speed.
EPIC Lab retweeted
Now introducing Dr. Ben!! Huge congratulations to @BA_Shafer for successfully defending his dissertation! Ben’s work focused on exos for older adults to improve self-selected walking speed.
Ben is also the first PhD grad co-advised with @GT_EPIC_Lab! – at Atlanta, GA
