Rats Can Now Walk Using Robotic Legs

Scientists have developed a robotic leg device designed to assist rats with walking. The device covers the area from the animal's thigh to its ankle, providing additional support during movement while still allowing the rat to walk on its own. During the experiment, it was observed that the rats were able to move independently even while wearing the exoskeleton. Researchers aim to utilize this technology in future studies regarding locomotion, robotics, and neurorehabilitation.
