Tissue-encoded Design Principles of Host Defense
Inflammatory diseases have been rising in incidence over the past few decades and are a result of inappropriate activation of tissue-resident immunity. This inappropriate activation can be derived from any number of cell types, including immunoregulatory functions of non-immune cells such as …

Application of Co-Design Principles for Design of Series Elastic Joints
… is the use of Series Elastic Actuators (SEAs). Designing SEAs, however, requires balancing the stiffness of the elastic element with the structure and gains of the control system, as both strongly influence actuator bandwidth, disturbance rejection, and overall efficiency. Prior work across many …
