"Smart Leg" Makes Engineering Prize Shortlist
A "smart" prosthetic leg is one of three finalists for the MacRobert Award, a major UK engineering prize.
Made by Basingstoke firm Blatchford, the Linx Limb uses a network of sensors to adapt to changing conditions by adjusting its robotic knee and foot.
Also on the shortlist are Jaguar Land Rover, for building its own innovative engines, and Siemens Magnet Technology, for pushing the boundaries of MRI scanning.
