The team has been awarded a grant from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), a part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to develop cutting-edge bioinspired wearable sensors aimed at protecting workers from injuries that occur in manual material handling (MMH) jobs.

Yu was recognized by the International Ergonomics & Human Factors Association (IEA) at their triennial congress in Jeju, Korea.

Professor Yu was recognized by the Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) Applied Ergonomics Society (AES).

Sensors can help measure team performance during robotic surgeries

"An Adaptive Human-Robotic Interaction Architecture for Augmenting Surgery Performance Using Real-time Workload Measurement" has been selected as the winner of the HFES 2021 Human Factors Prize.

Recent MSIE graduate, Juan Antonio Barragan, and Daniela Chanci Arrubla won the RSJ/KROS Distinguished Interdisciplinary Research Award at IEEE's RO-MAN 2021 for their work, titled "SACHETS: Semi-Autonomous Cognitive Hybrid Emergency Teleoperated Suction".

Congrats Nick (HEAL PhD student), Megan (HEAL undergraduate), and nursing team!

Congrats Cloris. Well-deserved recognition for her talk on "Prolonged Standing in the Operating Room”!
