The MARS lab participated in the NI Week 2016 in Austin, Texas. The NI Week was held for 4 days at the Austin Convention Center. The lab had a poster at the academic forum titled “Using LabVIEW and myRIO in Machine Learning for Human Robot Interaction with an Artificial Hand”. In addition, the lab was provided a booth where they demonstrated the current state of their research work in HRI and Machine learning with the artificial hand. The demonstrations attracted a lot of visitors, from young to experienced, who were impressed especially when they used a sensorized wearable glove to control the hand motion to perform various gestures and especially handshakes.Link to a video by Design World on the UTA artificial hand “Teaching an artificial hand to (hand)shake”. Mr. Lee Teschler (Design World) interviewed Dr. Shiakolas and Mr. Eddie Ordonez.

The lab was represented by Heriberto (Eddie) Ordonez aka the plastic surgeon, Christopher Abrego and Dr. Shiakolas.
