We don’t know much about how coronaviruses behave and move through the environment. U-M and Stanford engineers aim to change that.

“It’s like you have a hand again,” says Joe Hamilton, as U-M researchers amplify faint, latent signals from arm nerves to enable real-time, finger-level control of a robotic hand.

U-M engineers develop advanced space engine to propel humans to Mars; it’s breaking records for operating current, power, and thrust.

At a remote climate change research outpost, engineer Brie Van Dam, BS ’07, helps track the planet’s vital signs.

Two-legged locomotion is the robotics industry’s next frontier. But how and why do we make machines that move like us?
