Dr. Tommaso Lenzi Gould Lecture on Technology and the Quality Of Life

In this talk, Dr. Tommaso Lenzi will present ongoing work at his robotics lab — the Hans Georg Näder (HGN) Lab for Bionic Engineering — to advance the science of bionics. He will describe novel electromechanical designs that will empower next-generation bionic limbs to match the strength and speed of biological legs. He will demonstrate intelligent control systems that synchronize the movements of the bionic leg with the human nervous system, enabling individuals with amputation to perform activities that are impossible with conventional prostheses. Finally, Dr. Lenzi will discuss critical challenges and areas of future research that must advance for bionics to become a part of our lives.
