In nature, flying animals sense coming changes in their surroundings, including the onset of sudden turbulence, and quickly adjust to stay safe. Engineers who design aircraft would like to give their vehicles the same ability to predict incoming disturbances and respond appropriately.In nature, flying animals sense coming changes in their surroundings, including the onset of sudden turbulence, and quickly adjust to stay safe.

A patient recovering from a limb amputation won’t use a prostheses that isn’t comfortable. A person rehabbing from a stroke won’t use a robotic exoskeleton if the mobility it grants doesn’t allow them to perform everyday activities. And a diabetes patient won’t use an insulin pump that doesn’t deliver the appropriate dosage of medicine to control their blood sugar.A patient recovering from a limb amputation won’t use a prostheses that isn’t comfortable.
