POWERING INNOVATION THROUGH ENGINEERING
BIO
Tyler Susko, PhD
Dr. Susko's expertise is in mechanical design, motion control, mechatronics, robotics, human/machine interaction, research and rehabilitation device design. He holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT, a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Integrated Business and Engineering from Lehigh University. At MIT, he designed, fabricated and tested a new form of robotic gait therapy, called the MIT Skywalker (seen above and in this video). Prior to his PhD, Tyler worked as a design engineer at Ingersoll Rand where he designed the award winning W7150 cordless impact wrench and a variety of parts for all-terrain vehicles and golf carts. Currently, he is a mechanical engineering design professor of teaching at UC Santa Barbara.
INGERSOLL RAND W7150
2010
The Ingersoll Rand W7150 was developed to be the most powerful cordless impact wrench ever made which garnered massive attention and adoption. The product and the 4.6/5 stars can be seen on Amazon.
MIT SKYWALKER
2015
The MIT Skywalker is a novel robotic environment to deliver walking therapy to populations with neurological injury such as stroke, cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis.
CONSULTING
ENGINEERING CONSULTING
From 1 hour consult over the phone to 2 months on-site
Add Dr. Susko to your team of engineers or use him as an engineering sounding board for new ideas or for old pesky problems. He can support new projects, conceptual development, novel problem solving or research. Work can be remote or on-site depending on the time of year and time requirements. Month-long arrangements can be made in the summer months. Hourly consults are available all year.
FULL SERVICE ENGINEERING
Turn Key Concept and Prototype Development
Dr. Susko will work independently to develop out the concept in your head. This service can include concept sketches, computer aided design (CAD) modeling, engineering analysis, research, and prototyping. Prototypes come in many forms and are typically created to learn or demonstrate a desired concept.
