  • Our July 2019 Science Robotics article and related neuroprosthesis studies on restoring dexterous, intuitive motor control of, and biomimetic sensory feedback from, a prosthetic arm generated substantial media coverage. Shortly after publication (as of August 2019), there were some 398 media pickups reaching nearly ½ billion readers world-wide, and totaling approximately $4.5 million in media coverage for the University of Utah (Meltwater analyses). There were also ~128 TV and radio pieces. According to UU COE Public Relations Associate, “This was easily the most covered research project from any part of the U in at least several years.” Multiple longer features have continued to emerge since. According to Altmetric analyses, as of January 2021, the Science Robotics article was in the top 5% of all scored research outputs, regardless of publication date; in the top 10 articles published in Science Robotics, regardless of publication date; and in the top 1% of all articles of the same age https://robotics.sciencemag.org/content/4/32/eaax2352/tab-article-info).
