Unitree 1.8m H2 Humanoid Robot, A Combat Sparring Test. H2's knee strike lifts G1 off the ground. This is to validate the overall reliability of the robot, please do not attempt to replicate this. Please use robots in a friendly manner.
TAGGED WITH prosthetics
Paired with custom control software, Össur's powered knee prosthesis helped study participants sit, stand and walk more easily.
The human determinants of research are key for making progress, as championed by amputee Massimo Munzi who is helping improve prosthetics, as well as EPFL's neuroprosthetic researcher Jonathan Muheim.
In a small clinical study, users of this prosthesis navigated more easily and said the limb felt more like part of their body.
In a new study, Texas A&M researchers have used a skin-like material as a platform for investigating infections from intravenous catheters.
