Looking forward to having my PhD student Michael Feldkamp present our work on "Step Placement Swing Control for Powered Knee-Ankle Prostheses" tomorrow at ICRA! For those of you in Vienna, we'll be at his poster in the morning session: ThI1I.262 rachelhumann.com/research

It was an exciting week in the Humann Bionics Lab last week! @Vicon came and worked with us to set-up a motion capture system. Looking forward to the experiments we can do now with powered prosthetic legs.

I'm actively recruiting PhD students for my lab at UMN! If you're interested in nonlinear control theory, experimental robotics, and human biomechanics to develop generalizable control methods for prosthetic legs, apply to UMN ME by Dec 15 and reach out to me.

Sharing this Thingiverse syringe holder in case anyone knows someone with a feeding tube that could make use of it! My boyfriend designed and 3D printed this for his late dad. #3dprinting #oralcancer @IRWINtools thingiverse.com/thing:593072…
