Congratulations to Mike McGeehan at the University of Oregon for first-authoring a paper on a mechanical model of the Variable-Stiffness Foot. This model runs in MATLAB SimScape Multibody, and aims to incorporate variable-stiffness mechanics into predictive simulations of gait. Dr. McGeehan was advised by Prof. Michael Hahn, and co-authors also included BADGER Lab member Kieran Nichols and director Peter Adamczyk.
