Shadow Robot Co.’s so-called bionic man is making its way across the world, parading about a $1 million worth of advanced medical prosthetics that allow him to walk, breath and even hold light conversation.
The bionic man, the 1st of his kind, is a composite of parts from various medical device makers, including robotic feet and ankles from Massachusetts-based BiOM, an artificial heart made by Arizona’s SynCardia Systems and a retinal prosthesis from California’s Second Sight Medical.
