Benjamin Rigsby got his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at USF and will graduate with his M.S. in Mechanical Engineering in Summer 2017. His master's thesis focuses on understanding biases and discrepancies in the human sensorimotor system. He will continue at USF as a Ph.D. student working to expand his research to include controls analysis of human response and direct applications in the medical field. Research: Ben's current projects include studying directional force compensation, bimanual force recreation, and applying controls analysis to model human response. His research interests include upper limb biomechanics, motor learning & training, haptic perception of forces, and human sensorimotor system modeling. |
