Robot Control Theory Could Improve Prosthetic Legs
From: Medical Design Technology - 12/04/2014

Dr. Robert Gregg, a faculty member in the University of Texas at Dallas,
Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, applied robot
control theory to enable powered prosthetics to dynamically respond to the
wearer's environment and help amputees walk.

In the research, wearers of the robotic leg could walk on a moving treadmill
almost as fast as an able-bodied person.
