Bionic Knee Hits the Market
xander | 03:36 PM

An AI-powered bionic knee is now publicly available.
"Within those 60 steps the patient has to vary their speed a little bit, the knee starts learning how they move, how they walk, and at that point figures out how to adjust itself with the person," Warren said.What makes the Rheo-Knee different is that it's the first to use artificial intelligence -- tiny sensors that analyze the knee 1,000 times per second allowing it to adjust to any step or misstep.
Current unit runs about $30,000.

Wow, that's pretty cheap honestly, especially for bionics!
