We were invited to play a key development role on the historic DARPA Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 program, where we revolutionized how prosthetics are fit to high-level upper extremity amputees.
We created the first fully autonomous robotic prosthetic ankle of its type, with real-time control of stance and swing – enabling it to sense, think, and respond to the users activities.
Instead of using shoulder straps and padding as in conventional backpacks, our revolutionary new shoulder-less backpack ergonomically contours around the body – freeing up the users arms completely.
