"A robotic leg that can be fully controlled by the brain and spinal cord has enabled seven people who had lost a lower leg to walk roughly as fast as people without amputations.

The bionic limb uses a computer interface that amplifies nerve signals from muscles in the remaining part of the leg and allows the wearer to move the prosthesis with their own thoughts and natural reflexes."

Researchers are exploring using livable human skin to cover a mechanical apparatus. Apparently, human skin has interesting properties for robots also.

To demonstrate this concept, they’ve recreated a human face.

“In this study, we managed to replicate human appearance to some extent by creating a face with the same surface material and structure as humans,” said Takeuchi. “Additionally, through this research, we identified new challenges, such as the necessity for surface wrinkles and a thicker epidermis to achieve a more humanlike appearance. […] Of course, movement is also a crucial factor, not just the material, so another important challenge is creating humanlike expressions by integrating sophisticated actuators, or muscles, inside the robot.

Dude, you’re going to have to do better than putting 2 googly eyes on a petri dish to call this a human face. But at least it seems you’re having fun.

Significant news for persons w #MS #stroke or #cerebralpalsy These #bionic #tights make it easier for patients w MS to #walk. Cionic’s Neural Sleeve uses sensors, electrodes 2 stimulate muscles in leg. #clothing #embedded w#sensors that could monitor her #gait & small electrodes that could stimulate #muscles in her legs to help take each step. Tech can help as soon as it’s worn. When mother in 30s w MS arrived in a wheelchair after physical therapy appt she could normally walk about 20 ft #hope
