I would like to clarify a few things about Jaemi Hubo’s accident:

1. Jaemi Hubo is NOT totaled. She is currently on a 50 day schedule to be fixed by the Drexel Autonomous Systems Lab (DASL) where she lives.

2. The $80,000 price tag is for RAW PARTS ALONE (with out her shell). All of Jaemi’s parts are top of the line, from her three phase brushless Maxon motors and Harmonic Drives for her joints to the 6061 Aluminum for her frame. Jaemi Hubo costs $400,000 when taking in to consideration the machining and construction time.

If you would like to send Jaemi get well wishes you can:

1. Post them on her facebook wall (http://www.facebook.com/people/Jaemi-Hubo/100000171347942)

or

2. Mail them to my mailbox at:

Daniel M. Lofaro
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Bossone Research Center

Philadelphia, PA 19104-2875

Messages will be posted predominately around Jaemi Hubo’s station.
