Crystal designed numerous hardware components for the HERC lab’s strength amplification arm project in the summer of 2024, including the six-axis spring box pictured here. She departs to Pittsburgh for graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University.

Elizabeth is a talented mechanical designer working on designing a belt-less prosthetic knee for Open Source Leg (OSL).

Javid has interned as an undergraduate researcher for the TAMU SpaceCRAFT, RAD, and HERC Labs working on software, system integration, and controls. His research centers around implementing and testing the efficacy of direct user inputs in training the personalized gait estimation controller for the MBLUE exoskeleton outside steady state laboratory conditions. .

Mamta is a senior Mechanical Engineering student at Texas A&M University. Her research focuses on enabling direct user control of a knee exoskeleton by integrating mechanical design with software systems.

Willem is a Mechanical Engineering Senior at Texas A&M University. His current research focuses on the mitigation of displacement in lower-limb exoskeletons, and the hardware design of a human input device that could be used to train personalized gait patterns for lower-limb exoskeletons users.
