I'm currently on my fifth co-op term working at Neuralink as a Mechanical Engineering intern on the CONVOY team. We are working on evaluating the feasibility of a BCI-controlled assistive robotic arm to grant mobility and restore autonomy to individuals with paralysis. My work so far has been to benchmark activities of daily living with 6- and 7-DOF robotic arms, and to design mechanical and electrical hardware components to support the ARA.
