TAGGED WITH bionics
Unitree G1 has learned the "Anti-Gravity" mode: stability is greatly improved under any action sequence, and even if it falls, it can quickly get back up.
Everyone has fantasized about having an embodied avatar! Full-body teleoperation and full-body data acquisition platform is waiting for you to try it out!
A year and a half as a trainee — I'll keep working hard! Hope to earn more of your love
TAGGED WITH prosthetics
Paired with custom control software, Össur's powered knee prosthesis helped study participants sit, stand and walk more easily.
The human determinants of research are key for making progress, as championed by amputee Massimo Munzi who is helping improve prosthetics, as well as EPFL's neuroprosthetic researcher Jonathan Muheim.
In a small clinical study, users of this prosthesis navigated more easily and said the limb felt more like part of their body.
In a new study, Texas A&M researchers have used a skin-like material as a platform for investigating infections from intravenous catheters.
