Prosthetic leg, inspired by the mountain goats

Hi, Habr!

Post name poetic happened, is not it? And because everything in it is more correct to say it was the foot of a mountain goat with her hoof has become a source of inspiration for the person who designed the prosthesis.

All prostheses controlled by the brain, working with bluetooth and designed for the sport in recent years has been one drawback: most of them are not so very easy to climb mountains. Student designer Kai Lin studied artificial limbs at the Institute Pratt, when he came to this conclusion. And managed to find a solution to this problem, elegant and inspired by nature.

I think the question of why it became the prototype of a mountain goat, should arise. But if you still have it you came. just look this video . Lin made a few prototypes and continues to work on his project. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say how effective his project, since it has yet to experience.
