I’ve recently met an acquaintance with a bionic leg again. It detects if he’s walking forward or backward, climbing stairs, walking, or running. It only needs to be charged once or twice a week and works even on unstable, muddy ground.
Now granted, it’s a 6 figure device, but still, I’m really impressed whenever SotA body replacement parts come up.

- Semaphor 4y agoSounds super fun :D How often does that happen? But then, the first time I met him, was at Wacken 2007. The legs could do nothing but walking at a measured pace (though I thought that was still pretty impressive), and had to be recharged every evening.
