Mountain goat-inspired prosthesis
Hi, Habr!
The name of the post poetic happened, is not it? And after all, everything in it is true: it was the foot of a mountain goat with its hoof that became the source of inspiration for the person who designed this prosthesis.
All prostheses that are controlled by bluetooth-designed brains and intended for sports in recent years have one drawback: most of them are not so convenient for climbing mountains. Student designer Kai Lin explored artificial limbs at the Pratt Institute when he arrived at this conclusion. And he managed to find a solution to this problem, elegant and inspired by nature itself.

Under habrakat - presentation from 20 slides.
Klippa - in Swedish "climb".
I think the question why the mountain goat became the prototype should not arise. But if you still have it. just watch this video . Lin made several prototypes and continues to work on his project. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say how effective his project is, as it is still to be tested.
