Creating something from this to help stroke survivors should be a piece of cake. If only we had a great stroke association willing to dream and pursue impossible dreams.

Hugh Herr is building the next generation of bionic limbs, robotic
prosthetics inspired by nature's own designs. Herr lost both legs in a
climbing accident 30 years ago; now, as the head of the MIT Media Lab’s
Biomechatronics group, he shows his incredible technology in a talk
that's both technical and deeply personal — with the help of ballroom
dancer Adrianne Haslet-Davis, who lost her left leg in the 2013 Boston
Marathon bombing, and performs again for the first time on the TED
stage.
