Open-source bionic leg aims to rapidly advance prosthetics
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. Opensourceleg.com has been created to offer a united platform to combine and accelerate research efforts across the bionics field. The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world's top engineering schools. Michigan Engineering is home to 12 highly-ranked departments, and its research budget is among the largest of any public university. Instead of starting from scratch, these researchers can take this common platform and, after some assembly, begin working on better solutions to help people with mobility impairments.
