Our Lab’s Open-Source Prosthetic Leg at SII 2025 in Munich 🌍
We’re delighted that our lab was represented at the 2025 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII) in Munich! One of our Ph.D. students presented the team’s ongoing work on the Open-Source Prosthetic Leg v2.0. The leg is built upon the Open Source Leg v2.0 from the Neurobionics Lab of Michigan University and aims to provide a prosthetic research platform in an affordable and accessible manner.
As a preliminary study, our research contribution has sparked enthusiastic conversations. Conference attendees were especially interested in how a collective, financially accessible, open-source approach can unlock new possibilities for lower limb prosthetic research. Our lab’s focus on sharing knowledge—from hardware schematics to control software—resonated with the event’s spirit of global collaboration.
Between discussing new ideas for improvement and hearing insights from other labs working on soft robotics, wearables, and next-generation general robotics, our team gained fresh perspectives on refining our design. The SII 2025 environment was welcoming and vibrant, making it easy to connect with peers and see innovative tech from across the robotics spectrum.
As our lab progresses, we are excited to continue testing, iterating, and collaborating with the broader community. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to showcase our open-source prosthetic work at SII 2025. Being part of such a passionate group of researchers and engineers was humbling and inspiring. Stay tuned for more updates on how we are building upon this experience to help transform prosthetic innovation worldwide!
