Russell Tedrake Daniel Frey The loss of a limb is extremely debilitating. Unfortunately, today's assistive technologies are still far from providing fully functional artificial limb replacements. Although lower-extremity prostheses are currently better able to give assistance than their upper-extremity counterparts, important locomotion problems still remain for leg amputees. Instability, gait asymmetry, decreased walking speeds, and high metabolic energy costs are some of the main challenges motivating the development of a new kind of prosthetic device. |

Social networks have become extremely popular in the last few years. By bringing different media as well as modes of distribution social networks (SN) have revolutionized communication among people. By using the enormous reach of mobile phones equipped with myriads of sensors, the next generation of social networks can be designed not only to connect people with other people, but also to connect people with essential life resources. We call these networks Social Life Networks (SLN). |

Jeffrey Cohn (University of Pittsburgh / CMU) Computational behavioral science is making significant efforts in analysis and understanding of naturally occurring behavior. Active appearance models are an especially exciting approach. They may be used both to measure naturally occurring facial behavior and to synthesize near-photorealistic real-time avatars to experimentally perturb and reveal the dynamics of social behavior. Cohn's interdisciplinary group of psychologists and computer scientists uses and extends these capabilities. |
