This represents the future of research—rapid prototyping of open source robotic hardware and embedded systems with shared code.
Simple : No precision machine components
Portable : On-board power supply
Scalable: Modular Design works as knee, ankle,or both
Economical: Design choices facilitate low cost
A new open-source, artificially intelligent prosthetic leg designed by University of Michigan and Shirley Ryan AbilityLab researchers is now available to the scientific community.
The leg’s free-to-copy design and programming are intended to improve the quality of life of patients and accelerate scientific advances by offering a unified platform to fragmented research efforts across the field of bionics.
