Dr. George teamed up with the company BIOS to discuss the latest progress is commercializing their neuroprosthesis at the Utah Life Sciences Summit. Check out the video below to learn about the history behind the technology and it’s next chapter in commercialization with the company BIOS (Biological Input/Output Systems).
Mingchuan Cheng, a dedicated member of our NeuroRobotics Lab since May 2023 and a junior at West High School, showcased his work at the district-level science fair on February 1st, 2024. Mingchuan’s research, titled “Unraveling Cognitive Load in Prosthetic Tasks via Detection Response Task,” delves into quantifying cognitive load to establish crucial baselines and standards…
Josh Gubler, an undergraduate student in biomedical engineering at the University of Utah, recently presented his research at the Research on Capitol Hill (ROCH) event on January 18th, 2024. The event, organized by the Office of the Vice President for Research, the Office of Government Relations, and the Office of Undergraduate Research, provides a platform for…
The Utah NeuroRobotics Lab is teaming up with Biological Input Output Systems (BIOS) to bring advanced neuroprostheses to the market. In this presentation at the Utah Life Sciences Summit, Dr. George, director of the Utah NeuroRobotics Lab, presents alongside Joshua Miller, CEO of BIOS. Check out their presentation below!
Dr. George co-teaches a introductory course on robotics that is offered in person at the University of Utah. There are no formal prerequisites, but a basic understanding MATLAB programming is recommended. The course is taught every Spring and available to all majors. The course is listed as ECE 3610 – “Fundamentals of Robotics & Cyberphysical…
The brand-new Assistive Rehabilitation Technology (ART) Studio in the Craig H. Neilsen Rehabilitation Hospital opened its doors at the beginning of this month. Lab directors Ashley Dalrymple, Jacob George, Russell Butterfield, and Kota Takahashi are excited to share this innovative and revolutionary space with the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department.
Several students presented posters at the Utah Biomedical Engineering Conference on Saturday, September 9th. Presentations included: Fredi Mino – Co-Adaptive Myoelectric Control: A Framework that Equalizes Human Computer-Interaction for Stroke Survivors Abigail Harrison – Transcutaneous Wrist Stimulation Provides Sensory Feedback for Augmented and Virtual Reality Connor Olsen – Wrist EMG Improves Gesture Classification for Stroke…
In 2019, Jacob George, an assistant professor in the University of Utah Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and fellow researchers at the U made waves with the “LUKE Arm.” Named after the robotic hand given to Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back, the team’s prosthetic…
Congrats to Abby Citterman for being honored with the best prosthetic abstract at the American Orthotic & Prosthetic Association National Assembly! Her poster is titled Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation at the Wrist as a Method to Restore Sensory Feedback for Individuals with Partial Hand Amputation. Sensory feedback is critical for dexterous hand function, but current…
On Thursday, August 24th, the lab held a farewell lunch for Manya Murali, an undergraduate in Computer Engineering at University of California, Davis. Manya was awarded a summer fellowship through the SPUR program here at the U, and we all enjoyed having her as a member of the lab the last few months. We are…
