We're already seen a bionic heart, then a bionic arm, now... a bionic foot?

Readers, you must look at this interactive article in the NY Times, An Artificial Foot That Does Everything but Itch! It is regarding an “Electronic Brain in an Artificial Foot.” This interactive article shows you step by step (no pun intended) the newest version of an artificial foot for amputees (If you may remember, we mentioned during a previous post that the concept of the Bionic Woman is not such a far fetched idea; it used to be science –fiction, now it’s reality). This new artificial foot is able to move almost identical to a human foot as a result of a microchip. The new foot is even smart enough to adjust itself depending on whether you are walking on a flat surface, slope, sitting down, or walking up/down steps.

Simply amazing!
