Body mechanics
Berkeley engineers are building better bodies, one part at a time. Working across fields and disciplines, researchers are developing solutions ranging from early disease detection to brain implants and bionic-like exoskeletons. These advances hold the potential to improve quality of life for millions of people. Here is a rundown of a few of the most notable body hacks that have come out of Berkeley Engineering’s labs in recent years. Click on an icon below to learn more.
