Deep Dive with Dr. Kota Takahashi: Advancing the Science and Impact of Biomechanics Research
Today, we’re pleased to share with you a new format of exclusive interview with one of our longtime collaborators, Dr. Kota Takahashi, Associate Professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology at the University of Utah. We recently outfitted the Sayu Lab for Biomechanics & Locomotion with a first-of-its-kind Caplex System including robotic ankle and pylon modules (PRO-002 and PRO-004, respectively).
We are thrilled to announce the latest refresh of Humotech's PRO-002, marking a significant advancement in prosthetic foot emulation technology. Our dedicated team has focused on enhancing user interaction and experience, ensuring that the PRO-002 meets the highest standards of innovation and usability.
