As we begin our fourth year, we wanted to share some of the exciting events that we’ve experienced in the past year and give you a quick look at what’s coming up in 2019. In future issues, we’ll include news and more from the fields of robotics and prosthesis, orthosis, and exoskeleton research and development.
