The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) has named an Embry-Riddle doctoral candidate and three university alumni to its inaugural 30/30 class, which recognizes young professionals whose work is advancing aerospace and shaping its future.

People who have trouble walking could get comfortable, customized assistance from a wearable robotic device, known as an exoskeleton, developed by Embry-Riddle researchers with a $523,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

A team of interns at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Center for Aerospace Resilient Systems (CARS) spent this summer improving several capabilities for the center’s Systems Integration Lab, including a new space satellite simulation tool. They presented the applications at DEF CON 34, the world’s largest cybersecurity conference.

In newly published research in the journal Scientific Reports, Dr. Subhradeep Roy, assistant professor of Mechanical Engineering at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and graduate Ian McKinney introduced a new, easy-to-apply computational method for analyzing collective behavior in biological systems — a method that could also be used for designing coordinated swarms of drones, robots and other systems.
