====Robotic transtibial prostheses ====
The research of robotic legs has made some advancement over time, allowing exact movement and control.

Researchers at the [[Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago]] announced in September 2013 that they have developed a robotic leg that translates neural impulses from the user's thigh muscles into movement, which is the first prosthetic leg to do so. It is currently in testing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.medgadget.com/2013/09/robotic-leg-emg.html |title=Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago First to Develop Thought Controlled Robotic Leg |publisher=Medgadget.com |date=September 2013 |access-date=2016-12-28}}</ref>

Hugh Herr, head of the biomechatronics group at MIT's Media Lab developed a robotic transtibial leg (PowerFoot BiOM).<ref>[https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/future-robotic-legs-180953040/ Is This the Future of Robotic Legs?]</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://biomech.media.mit.edu/portfolio_page/powered-ankle-foot-prosthesis/ |title = Transtibial Powered Prostheses|website = Biomechatronics|publisher = MIT Media Lab}}</ref>

The Icelandic company Össur has also created a robotic transtibial leg with motorized ankle that moves through algorithms and sensors that automatically adjust the angle of the foot during different points in its wearer's stride. Also there are brain-controlled bionic legs that allow an individual to move his limbs with a wireless transmitter.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.popsci.com/brain-controlled-bionic-legs-are-here-no-really|title=Brain-Controlled Bionic Legs Are Finally Here|work=Popular Science|access-date=2018-12-01|language=en}}</ref>
