Imagine a prosthetic leg that thinks and moves like a real one, adjusting itself to how you walk in real-time. It uses a smart motor and AI to mimic the natural ankle movement of a human foot. Instead of just buying a device, it's like a smartphone subscription where the hardware is constantly updated and maintained.
Lower-limb amputees suffer from physical and psychological pain because current prostheses fail to adapt to their lifestyle. This leads to unnatural gait and secondary pains in the knees, hips, and back.
An AI-powered active-power electromechanical prosthetic foot capable of dorsiflexion and plantar flexion motion control.
If you are a prosthetics manufacturer dealing with static hardware that becomes obsolete quickly — this project developed an AI-powered electromechanical device that allows for continuous upgrades and predictive maintenance.
If you are a rehabilitation clinic dealing with patients who struggle with gait and peripheral pain — this project developed a bionic foot that has shown a significant increase in natural gait and reduced pain in knees, hips, and back.
If you are a health-tech provider dealing with a lack of real-world patient mobility data — this project developed a cloud-connected system for daily data gathering and monitoring of amputee lifestyles.
The project introduces a 'Prosthetics-as-a-Service' (PraaS) model, which focuses on a cost-effective concept including maintenance and continuous upgrades rather than a one-time sale.
Based on available project data, the development is progressing toward a commercial product featuring an optimized motorized mechanism and AI for motion control.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not disclosed, but the project is led by AXILES BIONICS as a single-partner SME.
The PraaS model ensures component-to-component maintenance and utilizes a predictive maintenance system based on daily data gathering.
The AI is integrated into an active-power electromechanical device to control dorsiflexion and plantar flexion motion.
The project is managed by a single-partner consortium consisting of one Belgian SME, AXILES BIONICS. This 100% industry ratio indicates a highly streamlined, commercially driven approach with no academic overhead, focusing directly on product commercialization.
