MIT researchers are using FUTEKB4s sensors to make robotic leg.
Developed by Matthew Carney of MIT Media Lab=B4s Biomechatronics
group, the revolutionary TF8 actuator is a powered prosthesis. Rather
than employing a one-size-fits-all design, it is able to replicate
the kinetic and kinematic functionality of the human ankle-moving and
responding to force in a lifelike way. The robotic ankle is driven by
an MIT-developed reaction-force, series elastic actuator (FRSEA). in
conjunction with FUTEK=B4s LCM300 load cell, the actuator allows for
the wearer=B4s weight and gait to handle varied terrains such as
stairs and inclines.
