via The University of Utah:

Researchers at the University of Utah´s Bionic Engineering Lab have 
developed the "Utah Bionic Leg," the most advanced bionic leg ever 
created. Now, the university has forged a new partnership with the 
worldwide leader in the prosthetics industry, Ottobock, to license 
the technology behind the Utah Bionic Leg and bring it to individuals 
with lower-limb amputations.  

"The largest prosthetics manufacturer in the world has committed to 
use the highest level of technologies available in robotics and AI to 
bring this prosthetic leg to those who need it as soon as possible," 
said University of Utah mechanical engineering associate professor 
Tommaso Lenzi, who is the lead researcher on the Utah Bionic Leg 
project. "Ottobock promotes freedom of movement, quality for life, 
and independence. They are saying now is the time to make such  
technical solutions available to everyone."
