Sandia Invents Sensor to Make a Better Prosthesis
From: Wireless Design & Development - 10/14/2014

Sandia National Laboratories researcher Jason Wheeler has been studying
prosthetics at the labs for a decade and is part of an Intelligent Systems,
Robotics and Cybernetics group working to develop a sensor to tell how a limb
changes, along with a system that automatically accommodates those changes.
After additional testing and refinements, Wheeler hopes to find a company
that wants to market the sensor system.
