This is our fastest gait ever at ~0.6 m/s, > 30% speed boost since our last video in December.

We’ve improved our vestibular system, our foot trajectory, and our ground contact logic. We’ve upgraded our motion planner, and made cuts to the loop latency across the bot. Optimus is more stable and more confident overall - even during turns. We also added a slight torso & arms sway.

If these challenges speak to you, join @AnandSwa & our amazing Controls team!

Ventricular assist devices are challenging for infants, especially with single ventricle defects. Le Bonheur Cardiology Fellow Cihangir Buyukgoz, MD, found that better anti-coagulation strategies and device engineering led to better outcomes & fewer adverse effects. #WCPCCS2023

The 1st year of the pandemic, out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) increased in adults. Le Bonheur Pediatric Cardiology Fellow Christopher Schmitt, MD, wanted to find out if this was the case in kids. He found OHCA increased in adolescents but decreased in infants. #WCPCCS2023

Le Bonheur is now closing PDAs at the NICU bedside to avoid transport risks. Associate Chief of Cardiology Jason Johnson, MD, shares the steps showing how Le Bonheur moved to primarily using ECHO instead of fluoroscopy in bedside PDA closure. @Jason_N_Johnson @PDASym #WCPCCS2023
