 Symbionic Leg

Ossur is an Icelandic company. Their invention is the Symbionic Leg. They saw the Flex Foot, and they’ve started to think about a whole leg. Ossur introduced the Symbionic Leg in 2011. I think we can say that it’s a quite new technology. It isn’t for sporting, but for the everydays, it can be used very well. The Symbionic Leg was the first complete bionic leg on the world.

It is lightweight, and made from durable carbon fiber. Another great innovation is the Terrain Logic system. It’s an artificial intelligence. The leg knows that you are standing or walking. For the first look it’s like a robotic leg (and maybe it sounds exactly like a leg of a robot).
