The research is part of ongoing exoskeleton and prosthetic studies led by Kinsey Herrin, principal research scientist in the Woodruff School. Herrin’s team collaborates closely with participants like Case to make wearable robotics more effective and accessible beyond the lab.
Born with cerebral palsy, 13-year-old Case Neel walks with limited knee movement. Four years ago, he began participating with a Georgia Tech lab developing a knee exoskeleton to help increase stability and mobility for children just like him. #WeCanDoThat 🦿🐝 |

Wallace is part of the development and machine learning teams on an ongoing vertically integrated project led by Woodruff School researchers Aaron Young and Kinsey Herrin.
Dean’s Scholar & @CoulterBME student Nathan Wallace has used a prosthetic leg for most of his life. Now he’s using his experience as an amputee to help researchers design and test better robotic prostheses powered by AI. https://t.co/DoD7LXdtr9
