Robotic lower limb prostheses have the potential to transform mobility by enhancing gait efficiency and facilitating movement. In this article, Ilaria Fagioli & Francesco Lanotte et al. have developed an innovative active transfemoral prosthesis. The prosthesis uses underactuation, incorporating a single power actuator near the knee joint to drive both the knee and ankle joints via a differential mechanism. Benchtop tests and evaluations with three above-knee amputees demonstrated its effectiveness in walking, stair climbing, and sit/stand transitions, highlighting the promise of underactuation in advancing lower limb prosthetics. CYBATHLON plays a crucial role in promoting such innovations by providing a platform for testing and showcasing cutting-edge assistive technologies.
