Our researchers have developed a dynamic toe-joint integrated with multiple sensors, which offers an efficient human-like gait. Research in optimized bipedal gaits using sensory feedback provides researchers’ designing intelligent prosthetic limbs with new insight on human balance. This system is incorporated in our humanoid platform PROTO-2 and is controlled via remote PC. The research from our humanoid platform will initially be available to researchers, students and institutions partnered with ARSL. Future applications of this technology include, but are not limited to research, medical and consumer based robotics.
