Oklahoma City, OK, June 16, 2010 – Orthocare Innovations’ Chief Science Officer, Director of Robotic Systems and key engineering staff members were recognized for innovative design accomplishments at the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum’s fourth exhibition of their National Design Triennial series in New York City last month.
The new Modular Prosthetic Limb System highlights the design contributions of Orthocare Innovations’ Chief Science Officer, Stuart Harshbarger, Orthocare’s Director of Robotic Systems, Matthew Kozlowski, Courtneyleigh Moran, Jay Martin, Adam Arabian, Wayne Daly, Pravin Chaubey and others from the Orthocare Innovations team. Development of the Modular Prosthetic Limb System was funded under the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Revolutionizing Prosthetics program.
Orthocare’s Chief Science Officer, Stuart Harshbarger, said, “The Modular Prosthetic Limb System on display represents the world’s most highly integrated and capable prosthetic limb and human integrated robotic manipulation system. It is a testament to the talent of the design and engineering team to realize a working system with a level of performance that many experts said would be impossible to achieve when the program was initiated in 2005.”
Inaugurated in 2000, the Triennial program seeks out and presents the most innovative designs at the center of contemporary culture. For more information on the National Design Triennial exhibit, please visit: http://www.cooperhewitt.org/exhibitions/triennial/why-design-now.asp.
