E262 - Robotic boots are walking the walk

Human Factors Cast

This week on the show, we talk about how the Stanford exoskeleton walks out into the real world. We also answer some questions from the community about some of the most important qualities a UX/HF researcher must have, how to improve skills in a Junior role, and we assess how UX/HF leadership compares to other departments.
