Tyler Clites is a researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. During his doctoral research, he designed a way to make prosthetic limbs that communicate sensations of joint position and movement directly to the nervous system. The limbs have been used in 12 different patients, and involve a new way of performing amputation surgery and a robotic control system. In 2019, he was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree in healthcare.
