The resulting prosthetics will be controlled by voluntary and involuntary brain signals.
Posted By Mark D. Geil on 9/8/2000 12:00:00 AM The Georgia Institute of Technology is pleased to announce the Georgia Tech Symposium on Prosthetics and Orthotics: "Prosthetics and Orthotics for a New Millennium" Saturday, November 4, 12:30 - 5:30, on the campus of Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Emory and Georgia Tech are participating in the largest exercise research program of its kind as both join institutions across the country to collect and turn data from nearly 2,600 volunteers into comprehensive maps of the molecular changes in the body due to exercise. Integrative Physiology spans levels of biological organization from cellular mechanisms to motor behavior and human performance, and this research encompasses many of the body’s organ systems. SlothBot is a slow-moving and energy-efficient robot that can linger in the trees to monitor animals, plants, and the environment below.

Georgia Tech graduate research assistants Yousef Emam and Gennaro Notomista assemble SlothBot in the laboratory of Magnus Egerstedt.
This study is examining the salient features of facial expressions in order to create "emotional prosthetics" - ways for people with disabilities to express emotion. Specific emphases include approaches to rehabilitation that include prosthetic and orthotic devices as … GCMR is involved in a wide variety of research areas, including but not limited to: surgical robotics, pediatric robotics, image-guided interventions, imaging, rehabilitation and assistive robotics, prosthetics, human augmentation, and diagnostics and therapeutics spanning different length scales. People with severe motor disabilities such as ALS may not be able to move their facial muscles to communicate.
GCMR serves as a catalyst to advance research in medical robotics and form new research partnerships.
