We are actively recruiting masters students to work on a variety of cutting-edge research projects! Prospective masters students should apply through the Electrical Engineering graduate programs. The majority of students apply through the ECE department and then enroll in the interdepartmental graduate program in robotics and take courses with an emphasis on neurorobotics and neural…
Today the NeuroRobotics Lab gained three new alumni: Adrian Porras, Dillon Crytser, and Wyatt Fullmer. Adrian joined the lab in October 2020 to help us enhance human dexterity with a supernumerary robotic finger. Adrian was the first civil engineer to join our group and he brought with him a diverse and valued skillset. In addition…
The NeuroRobotics social committee hosted a summer games tournament where lab members competed across various games throughout the summer to see who will be crowned the ultimate winner! Today we finished out the tournament with a double-elimination bracket of ladder toss. Matt took first place, Shaila came in second, Dillon got third, and Adrian finished…

Today we had five students from the University of Utah Asia Campus (UAC) visit the Utah NeuroRobotics Lab. Students at UAC complete pre-major and early-major coursework in Incheon, Korea and then finish their Electrical & Computer Engineering in Salt Lake City, Utah. Although they still have a few years before they will be full-time in Utah, the…
Today we continued the the NeuroRobotics Lab summer games tournament with a 4-hole game of mini golf. The roof-top patio of the Craig H. Neilsen Hospital has lots of patio furniture, yard games (including a putting green!) and amazing views of the Wasatch Mountains. Jake George took first place in the mini golf tournament, followed…
Today we continued the the NeuroRobotics Lab summer games tournament with a round-robin game of cornhole. Undergraduate Dillon Crytser took first place, taking home the corn-hole trophy and 4 points in the games tournament! The current standings for the summer games tournament are: 1. Dillon Crytser (8 points) 2. Wyatt Fullmer (3 points) 2. Ruby…
Two papers from the NeuroRobotics Lab were accepted at the 2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society! The first paper, authored by graduate student Caleb Thomson, is titled “A Recurrent Neural Network Provides Stable Across-Day Prosthetic Control for a Human Amputee with Implanted Intramuscular Electromyographic Recording Leads.” The…
Another great NeuroRobotics Lab social! Smores night in the nearby Sugarhouse Park. Welcoming Michael Adkins as a new rotation student in the lab.
The Craig H. Neilsen hospital is a great place to work. In addition to all the amazing equipment and people in the building, there are also several fun games around. We have ping-pong, ladder toss, cornhole, and even mini-golf! The NeuroRobotics social committee hosting a games tournament where lab members will compete across various games…
