Tyler Clites @TylerClites presents a new concept in bionics, called "anatomics,” in which body and machine are engineered in parallel. Check out his new perspective paper

New Perspective on #userpreference in prosthetics and exoskeletons. Preference is noisy and tricky to quantify, but contains unique information for researchers trying to develop user-optimal solutions.

If room-temp superconductors work (with sufficient current density) it will revolutionize robotics.
Most of the mechanical cost & complexity is gearboxes and the rotational inertia they cause.

We've published two papers in @FrontBioeng on the potential to use magnetic bead implants for controlling wearable robots. Here's a video showing what we've learned so far (enjoy the cameo): youtu.be/sdDeRgAUsWo @MIT @medialab @BrownUniversity @harvardmed

Must-read for my white cis-het male friends. If you don't have time for 30 pages, skip to the "Summary of Findings" on pgs 33 & 34 -- see how many points you recognize in your own thinking or that of your mentors / colleagues:

Running-specific prosthetic feet ("blades") are more than just pogo sticks; a vertical force causes a non-vertical displacement. In our new TBME paper, we use shape optimization to achieve desired endpoint mechanics, make 3 feet, and test on an athlete: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document…

Were two separate, major lines of Alzheimer’s research tainted by image fabrication, with far-reaching implications for the field? I take a deep look for @ScienceMagazine science.org/content/article/…

Great thread, super important to keep in mind. Unbelievable how pervasive this type of language is in academic spaces.

There are words you shouldn’t call academic (or any) women. Words you might think are innocuous, but have a long history of being used to dismiss, devalue, or discredit women. You might not be aware that these words should be avoided. A 🧵

In our new @SciRobotics paper, we gave users direct control over their exoskeleton assistance and asked them to find their preference.
Turns out, user-preferred assistance is unique and dynamic, varying with walking speed, device exposure, and prior knowledge.

Can I just say how excited I am to be a PI. People dump all over how this position is stressful (which it is), the red tape (which is present), and oh, the difficulty in buying tips, but seriously, I'm grateful that I get to do it every day. What sparks joy for you being a PI? MJ
