Bender briefly traces the history of mobility devices and Berkeley Bionics' development efforts, and then reintroduces Amanda, this time wearing an eLEGS exoskeleton, which makes it possible for her to walk. The rest of the test team is then brought on stage.

Quite an emotional and intense presentation of an idea / product and the type of people it can and will affect and assist.

Great stuff!!!
