Advanced AI prosthetic invented

Plus: Easily disposable circuitry invented on a sheet of paper. Oct 08, 2022 [Blueprint]( The University of Utah has developed the most advanced AI-powered prosthetics "ever created," prompting Ottobock, the world's largest prosthetic manufacturer, to collaborate with them to launch the project globally. Amputees rely on their intact legs and upper body to compensate for the lack of support provided by their prescribed prosthesis. With the Utah Bionic Leg, this is less of a problem because the prosthesis' increased power facilitates mobility. The Utah Bionic Leg combines motors, processors, and cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI), giving amputees the strength and mobility to perform actions that the average person might take for granted. But before you start delving into this incredible development, check out this video about how to reduce emissions from air travel. Good morning. I’m Loukia, an editor at IE. This is The Blueprint. Let’s dive in. Last Sunday, Blueprint subscribers had an exclusive insight from Adam Slavney, about his first-of-its-kind air conditioner that uses solid refrigerants, and how and why he and his team want to make barocaloric cooling commercially viable. This week, they’ll hear scientists from around the globe about whether coffee has many more (some fairly life-changing) health benefits than we realize.

Now it is working with Ottobock, the world's largest prosthetic manufacturer, to launch the project globally. "Our @LabBionic [Bionic engineering lab] has developed the "Utah Bionic Leg," the most advanced bionic leg ever created. Now, we've forged a partnership with the worldwide leader in the prosthetics industry, @OttobockUK, to bring it to individuals with lower-limb amputations," the university's official account tweeted on Friday. "The goal of the partnership is to "refine ability" by combining advanced technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, neural engineering with manufacturing, health services and patient care," said Tommaso Lenzi, associate professor at the university's Department of Mechanical Engineering and director of the Bionic Engineering Lab.
