Jacqueline Hannan, a PhD student in industrial and operations engineering, demonstrates walking with a lower-body exoskeleton at the Engineering Research Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan on Wednesday, April 6, 2022.
This is part of Man I (Maggie) Wu’s research. Wu, a PhD student in robotics, said the purpose of the investigations is to learn how people respond to lower-body exoskeletons. Specifically, she’s interested in times when the exoskeleton makes an error. The users' responses will then inform the development of future exoskeleton controllers to support human-exoskeleton coordination and fluency.

Ann Laidlaw, an assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation, and Philip Vu, a biomedical engineering Ph.D. candidate, use ultrasound to locate and image eight electrodes recently implanted in the arm of Karen Sussex, an upper-limb amputee from Jackson, Mich., during a testing session at a lab in the University of Michigan Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI on June 13, 2019, for an advanced prosthetics study at U-M.
In this major advance for mind-controlled prosthetics, U-M research led by Paul Cederna, the Robert Oneal Collegiate Professor of Plastic Surgery and a professor of biomedical engineering, and Cindy Chestek, associate professor of biomedical engineering, demonstrates an ultra-precise prosthetic interface technology that taps faint latent signals from nerves in the arm and amplifies them to enable real-time, intuitive, finger-level control of a robotic hand.

Ahmet Emrehan Emre, a biomedical engineering PhD candidate, casts a manganese oxide slurry onto a sheet of aluminum foil to serve as the cathode of a prototype structural battery in the University of Michigan North Campus Research Complex in Ann Arbor, MI on December 21, 2018.
This work is part of a research project led by Nicholas Kotov, the Joseph B and Florence V Cejka Professor of Engineering at U-M. Their team has created a prototype of a zinc structural battery that uses a cartilage-like material as a solid electrolyte, which could be integrated into the structural components of aircraft, cars, and many other vehicles or devices where weight and efficiency are a concern.

Jacqueline Hannan, a PhD student in industrial and operations engineering, demonstrates equipment used in her project about interaction pressures occurring during positive pressure ventilation with newborns in in her lab Engineering Research Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. The project is performed with simulated neonatal ventilation with an infant manikin.
Hannan said the aim of the project is to develop a sensor system to measure the pressures that occur between a ventilation face mask and an infant's face during positive pressure ventilation. The sensor system will serve as a research tool and as a training tool. Care must be taken when holding the face mask, as applying too much pressure has potential to injure the infant, while applying too little pressure will result in air leakage and insufficient air delivery.

Elissa Welle, Graduate Student Research Assistant in Biomedical Engineering, prepares to sharpen an array that has four carbon fiber electrodes attached to it at Professor Cindy Chestek’s Cortical Neural Prosthetics lab inside North Campus Research Center in Ann Arbor, MI on Friday June 11, 2021.
The carbon fibers are originally cylindrical wires with a flat end but are made sharp through the heat of the butane flame. The rest of the array, composed of medical-grade silicone, a polyimide printed circuit board, four 50-um diameter wires, and an Omnetics connector, is kept safely under the water, which acts as a flame retardant. Once sharp, the electrodes insert easily into lots of different types of biological tissue - nerves, the brain, the dorsal root ganglia - that typical flat-ended wires cannot penetrate.

Andrew Weng, Mechanical Engineering PhD Student, and Anna Stefanopoulou, William Clay Ford Professor of Technology, identify an early-life diagnostic signal that predicts the impact of the formation protocols on battery life without needing cycle life testing at 1015 Auto Lab on North Campus of the University of Michigan on October 15, 2021.
Despite recent progress in battery development, electric vehicles remain unaffordable for many. A key enabler for less expensive electric vehicles is lowered battery manufacturing costs, a significant portion of which is due to the formation and aging process.
Weng and Stefanopoulou's method is obtained directly at the end of the manufacturing line and can be deployed immediately in mass production settings to improve diagnostics of new formation protocols. The technique can be deployed in battery manufacturing settings rapidly and at no additional cost.

Molong Duon and Deokkyun Yoon, both mechanical engineering PhD students, and Chinedum Okwudire, associate professor in mechanical engineering, have developed what they call "filtered b-spline" algorithms to speed up consumer 3-D printers without sacrificing quality.
Desktop 3-D printers often use light and flexible parts to save costs and stay affordable, but this allows for unwanted flexing and vibrations when the movement of the printhead is accelerated. These vibrations can offset the printhead, and because the printer uses a stepper motor, it won't know there is a problem and will keep printing, resulting in an incredibly deformed final product.
The Michigan Engineering researchers developed algorithms that take into account the dynamics of the printer and refine the movement of the printhead and platform to mitigate vibration errors.
