Recently iWalk released the
PowerFoot BiOM™, the first bionic lower leg that emulates muscle
function to allow the amputee to walk without stress. Working as a
team with the development engineers at iWalk, Microprocessor Designs designed 3
circuit assemblies which include multiple DSPs responsible for algorithmic,
inertial and brushless DC motor control. The system enables the prosthetic
to provide energy during each step and helps the amputee to achieve natural
movement and higher quality of life. See the technology at work at
iWalk.com.
Microprocessor Designs was part of the
Revolutionizing Prosthetics 2009 development team funded by the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The project objective was to produce
a prosthetic arm with functional capabilities similar to a human limb.
We were responsible for the development of the microcomputer based Finger Tip Sensor Node. The
design is prominently showcased in the
January 2010 edition of National Geographic.
In conjunction with the development team at LPA Design, the team has been
working on hardware, firmware and software to support the
ControlTLtm system designed for wireless camera flash triggering
control in the world renown
PocketWizardtm
product family. Products are available for both the Nikon and Canon
product families.
