Description

"The Utah Bionic Leg, developed by University of Utah mechanical engineering associate professor Tommaso Lenzi and his team in the HGN Lab, is a motorized prosthetic for lower-limb amputees. The leg uses motors, processors, and advanced artificial intelligence that all work together to give amputees more power to walk, stand-up, sit-down, and ascend and descend stairs and ramps."
