prosthetic foot, developed in Iceland, uses artificial intelligence to imitate the action of the natural foot in walking, running, and climbing. This patient, a basketball player before losing his left foot in an accident, even hopes to play the game again. Even the price -- a little over $20,000 -- seems modest for such a sophisticated device.
