Algorithm for robotic prosthetics could ease pain for amputees
Algorithm for robotic prosthetics could ease pain for amputees Researchers have developed an algorithm that combines two processes to personalize robotic prosthetic devices, optimizing movement and helping users exhibit a more natural walking pattern. The new approach aims to address health challenges associated with amputations, such as lower back pain and hip problems, by considering […]

NASA Tech Gives Treadmill Users a ‘Boost’
NASA Tech Gives Treadmill Users a ‘Boost’ NASA’s antigravity treadmill technology has been adapted for home use by Boost Treadmills, a company co-founded by Robert Whalen, who pioneered the concept at NASA’s Ames Research Center in the 1980s and ’90s. The Boost 2 treadmill uses air pressure to counter gravity, making running possible for people […]
