This Eighth Grader Is Shaping the Future of Wearable Robotics
Primary tabs
Case Neel, 13, is a busy kid who loves coding and robotics, captains his school’s quiz bowl team, and lives with his family on a farm northwest of Atlanta.
He also has cerebral palsy — and for the past four years, he has played a key role in improving one of the most exciting medical devices at Georgia Tech.
“My role here is as a participant in exoskeleton research studies,” Case explained. “When I come in, researchers hook me up to sensors that monitor my gait when I’m walking in the device, and then they get a whole lot of data based off that.”
Summary
How a middle schooler with cerebral palsy became a vital contributor to Georgia Tech’s cutting-edge robotic exoskeleton research — offering data, feedback, and a passion for innovation.
