‘I am fascinated by robotics and dream of replicating the remarkable abilities of the human body,’ says Raffaella Carloni, Prof. of Robotics at the UG. 🤖

Carloni develops artificial limbs, such as the #bionicleg, and studies how #AI can help to make #prostheses 'smarter'. 🦿

Colombia’s Foreign Minister Luis Gilberto Murillo said his government is planning to help up to 50 Palestinian children from Gaza who have lost limbs by bringing them to Colombia and providing them with #prostheses.

Under the programme, the children, aged between 12 and 15 years, would be flown from Egypt to #Colombia alongside a family member or guardian, where they would spend six months in treatment and rehabilitation.
