Utah Bionic Leg Controller

University of Utah mechanical engineering assistant professor Tommaso Lenzi and his team at the Bionic Engineering Lab have developed a new adaptive controller for their Utah Bionic Leg that enables an amputee to control the powered prosthesis. With this new controller, individuals with an above-knee amputation can walk at their preferred speed and cross obstacles of different sizes instead of having to go around them.
The Utah Bionic Leg is a computerized and motorized prosthetic for leg amputees that is powered and can help users walk with ease. The leg uses custom-designed force and torque sensors as well as accelerometers and gyroscopes to help determine the leg’s position in space. Those sensors are connected to the onboard computer processor that interprets the signals to determine the user’s intended movements. Based on that real-time data, the computer then controls the motors in the prosthetic joints to assist the user with the intended activity.
