Hi I'm James Tigue, a Robotics Engineer
I received my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Idaho in 2015. and my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Univeristy of Utah in 2018. I finished my Ph.D. at the University of Utah in Robotics in 2021. My primary focus was modeling and robotic recreation of the human hand tendon system, specifically applied to human hand reconstructive surgeries.
I have been working at Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation as a Simulation and Analysis, Team Lead since 2021. At Sarcos we work on difficult robotics problems including full-body heavy lift exoskeleton, humanoid upperbody teleoperation, and various manipulation platforms. As a robotic simulation expert I work on full spectrum simualtion from design, controls, autonomy, physics, photo realistics environments, and syntheic data generation. |

2015 University of Idaho College of Engineering Outstanding Senior - Mechanical Engineering
James Tigue was born and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho, he will graduate this May with a bachelor of science in mechanical engineering. While at U of I Tigue’s interest in robotic systems has great been piqued. Tigue’s is working with the Robotic Lunar Exploration Program within NASA on his senior capstone design project to design and build a payload to go inside a tensegrity structure and use internal actuation of this payload as a form of locomotion. Tigue also is a mentor for a sophomore DeVlieg Innovation Design Project working to develop a robot end-effector to support robotic rehabilitation research. Tigue plans to attend graduate school to study dynamics, robotics, and control systems. He hopes to have an exciting career in research and design.
