Caption

SoftFoot Pro can change its shape, allowing the foot sole to deform and to adapt to the roughness of the terrain and any obstacles, minimizing them, improving the naturalness of the step, and enhancing the stability of the user. In this sense, the prototype embodies a form of artificial intelligence, enhancing the system’s autonomy and management capabilities in harmony with the sensorimotor characteristics of the human being.
