"Smart" prosthetic legs can help amputees achieve a natural walking gait, but it's done through robotic sensors and algorithms that drive the limb forward at predetermined rates. A better way ...

Leg driven by the nervous ... regain their natural walking gait through robotic sensors and pre-determined walking algorithms. However, these prosthetics still don't allow the patient to control ...

There are also small vibration sensors in the leg for a bit of ... to share some more videos and a few pictures of his robotic prosthetic leg; you can check those out after the break.

By late 2009, testing was underway on the PowerFoot BiOM, the first lower-leg system to use robotics ... governing the prosthetic’s movement. But Herr is working on sensors that can tap into ...

This left him initially at the age of 18 years old to consider a life without the use of his arms or legs, until he got ... even simplistic touch sensors to prosthetic, brain-controlled limbs ...

Beneath the rubbery skin are skeletal robotic ... legs laid out on a long black table clearly evoke the human form. Meyer himself speaks to that quality, describing his i-limb as the first ...

The robotic arm is then wired to send and receive signals from those sensors. Now 31, Copeland can identify—with 84.3 percent accuracy and while blindfolded—which of his arm’s prosthetic ...

Demonstration of the robotic prosthetic ankle. Electromyographic sensors (on calf at left) capture electrical activity generated by muscles when they are flexed. This signal tells the prosthesis ...
