Design for Life: Some Foundation Concepts Ken Reifsnider, Presidential Distinguished Professor, University of Texas ArlingtonDirector, Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies, UTARI Abstract So far as we know, nothing lasts forever. In engineering, “lifing” a design typically means selecting appropriate materials, avoiding “damage accelerators” like stress concentrations, and estimating the time…
Assistive Technologies Robotics is not just about robots! Robotics is about the technologies that enable robots. These same technologies that create autonomous behaviors or sensing for real-time decisions can also be used to affect real-world solutions in the lives of people with disabilities. UTARI is busy exploiting these advances for…
