Wired: Lasers Power Pentagon’s Next-Gen Artificial Limbs
Reporter Katie Drummond with Wired magazine has covered the research of SMU engineers Marc Christensen and Volkan Otugen.
Christensen and Otugen are working as part of a consortium with industry and other universities to develop technology that will someday help amputees have "feeling" in their artificial limbs. The research is funded through a $5.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense and industry for a center led by SMU's Lyle School of Engineering.
