A PATH FORWARD

ROBOTICS FOR REGAINING MOTION

What

  • Developing an open-source robotic leg prosthesis that can be worn by people who have lost their knee and/or ankle

Why

  • To facilitate research in prosthesis control

  • To provide a common hardware platform across labs

  • To promote research beyond the lab- in the community and at home

How

  • By designing a portable, lightweight, and inexpensive robotic leg

  • By providing the necessary files, code, and instructions needed for researchers to build their own prosthesis
