DESIGN West keynoter envisions biomechatronic future
From: EDN - 04/26/2013

Hugh Herr is director of biomechatronics at the Media Lab at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. He also happens to be a double lower-extremity
amputee.  

During a keynote presentation Herr demonstrated for the audience at the
DESIGN West exhibition the various ways in which technology has the power to
heal and rehabilitate broken bodies. Herr conducts research in this area with
a goal of rehabilitating individuals that have lost limbs but also to augment
physical capabilities. Herr's talk was especially meaningful after the
bombing in Boston that was responsible for 14 people losing limbs.
