Hugh Kerr is Building the next Generation of Bionic Limbs

Hugh Kerr is Building the next Generation of Bionic Limbs, Robotic Prosthetics Designed by Nature. New bionics let us run, climb and dance. Kerr lost his legs in a mountain climbing accident 30 years ago. Here, as the head of MIT Media Lab Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology with help of ballroom dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis. Haslet-Davis lost her leg in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. This one is technical and deeply personal to both presenters. March 28, 2014 – TED
