BIONIC legs assist US Marine to walk again

Like2Byte writes: "There's an interesting story on CNN where a US Marine that lost both his legs in Iraq is now able to walk again by implementing BLUETOOTH technology to coordinate his leg's movement. The article explains how the two legs communicate to keep the man in motion. An except from the article: "...Computer chips in each leg send signals to motors in the artificial joints so the knees and ankles move in a coordinated fashion. Bleill's set of prosthetics [legs] have Bluetooth receivers strapped to the ankle area. The Bluetooth device on each leg tells the other leg what it's doing, how it's moving, whether walking, standing or climbing steps, for example.""
