New research enables powered prosthetics to dynamically respond to the wearer’s environment and help amputees walk. Wearers of the robotic leg could walk on a treadmill almost as fast as an ...

Jun Zhang, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Reno. His research interests lie in the intersection of control theory, robotics, ...

Abstract: Despite having a slow and noisy neuromotor system, humans manage to dexterously interact with complex (nonlinear, underactuated, non-rigid) objects on a daily basis. This feat of human ...

Getting a robot to stand on two wheels without tipping over involves a challenging dance with the laws of physics. Self-balancing robots are a great way to get into control systems, sensor fusion, and ...
