robotic leg
Automated lower extremity
A robotic leg is a mechanical limb that replaces or augments a human leg, powered by motors and often controlled by sensors or neural interfaces.
Prosthetic robotic legs restore mobility to amputees, while exoskeletal versions assist people with paralysis or muscle weakness: The robotic leg responded to signals from her residual nerves.
In robotics research, robotic legs are components of walking machines and humanoid robots.
