This project focuses on developing and integrating new powered prosthetic limbs, sensor systems, and surgical technologies to restore neural controllability of biomimetic gait in persons with limb amputation. Furthermore, the project explores human-bionic science to understand sensorimotor adaptability to neurally-controlled devices.
