Summary
Grant Elliott is an MIT-trained engineer and consultant with a PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and nine years of hands-on experience at the intersection of mechatronics, biomechanics, and rehabilitative technologies. He has led design and manufacture of wearable robotic prostheses and exoskeletons, developed mixed-signal electronics and embedded software, and run clinical trials integrating motion capture, EMG, and cardiopulmonary testing. Versatile in mechanical CAD, custom transmissions, PCB design, and firmware, he translates tight electro-mechanical requirements into pragmatic, manufacturable solutions for startups and institutions. Based in Cambridge, MA, he pairs deep academic research with client-facing consulting, mentoring students and presenting work to industry sponsors and at conferences. An uncommon strength is his ability to blend high-torque mechanical innovation with low-mass, low-power electronic systems to restore or augment human mobility.
