Symbiotic strides

In the last 20 years, as batteries and mechanical motors have become smaller, lighter, and more powerful, Huang has watched the prosthetics field expand drastically. When she began doing this research in the 2000s, patients were still using 100-year-old technologies. But so much has changed since then.
