Building a bionic ankle with iWalk and Cogmedix
From: Medical Design Technology - 09/24/2012

Tim McCarthy, CEO of iWalk and Matt Giza, Vice President of Cogmedix talk
about building iWalk's revolutionary bionic prosthetic system for the ankle
and lower foot, the BiOM. 

The BiOM is a bit of an engineering marvel using microprocessors and a
half-dozen environmental sensors to evaluate and adjust ankle position,
stiffness, damping and power thousands of times each second. Additionally,
control algorithms generate human-like force while walking across level
ground, slopes or stairs, providing amputees with a near-normal gait.
