The legs I make are not yet robotic but they do have electronics and mechanical components that one day can be robotic and automatically controlled. In total, I have designed 3 but I am working on another 2 that hopefully will be sold soon.
Lately, I have been making parts that are always in contact with the skin, so they have to be nice and comfy, cushiony and that help with the sweating.
I would like to make some of these parts more intelligent, so that if the leg is getting too hot or bruised, it will send a signal to your mobile phone to alert you, and hopefully, make it cold again for you.
I am also working on things to last longer because amputees also play football, run marathons and ride bikes so I make sure they are assembled correctly with the correct glues.
