No, this isn't an episode of Black Mirror. 😆 New VT Mechanical Engineering Assistant Professor, Kaveh Akbari Hamed, is studying legged locomotion, that will help those with disabilities to walk and assist or replace humans in hazardous environments. 🤖 🙌 Kaveh Akbari Hamed and his team will be developing control algorithms to change the behaviors of the robots, that were designed and manufactured Ghost Robotics. This will allow the machines to gallop, run, walk, and more. 😲 | Virginia Tech
