Humans are complex beings.
And one of the most perplexing puzzles that John McPhee is trying to figure out – is how we move.
It’s a question that’s fascinated him for most of his life.
And during his 30+ years as a systems design engineer, he’s come up with remarkable achievements:
everything from improving electric and autonomous vehicles, developing exoskeletons for stroke patients, and increasing the performance of Olympic and pro athletes.
His lab even developed a hockey blade that allows hockey players to skate faster.
As well as a baseball pitching machine that can replicate every baseball pitch ever produced in the last ten years. Even Garrit Cole’s.
Canada's leading expert in systems dynamics John McPhee shares his amazing inventions and how he’s advancing the way we move.
Info on Guest:
