Sure enough, there’s one particular entry discussing an articulating hand prototype (Link)<\/a> that’s well worth taking the time to read. Inspiring stuff.<\/p>\n {Update: MIT Tech Review is carrying a story on one of the presentations – “The World’s First Powered Ankle” (Link)<\/a>.}<\/p>\n {Image source: Nick Knight\/SHOWstudio<\/a>}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There are a series of posts over on Architectradure – “Wearable Robotic” (Link), “A Living Sculpture” (Link), and “Inspiring book : the Prosthetic Impulse” (Link) – that I’m finding fascinating.
