Project Description:
- The current project discusses the design for a BiOM. BiOM is a fully computerized ankle-foot system, which imitates a flesh and blood foot, propelling the user forward with each step, developed by Hugh Herr, a survivor of lower limb amputation at MIT Media Lab’s Biotronic research group
- To design an automated, programmable test fixture for
the robotic prosthetic lower limb. A single actuator, Pneumatic design was assigned for reference but were asked to design for either hydraulics or electric motor
