Hybrid terrain-adaptive lower-extremity apparatus and methods that perform in a variety of different situations by detecting the terrain that is being traversed, and adapting to the detected terrain. In some embodiments, the ability to control the apparatus for each of these situations builds upon five basic capabilities: (1) determining the activity being performed; (2) dynamically controlling the characteristics of the apparatus based on the activity that is being performed; (3) dynamically driving the apparatus based on the activity that is being performed; (4) determining terrain texture irregularities (e.g., how sticky is the terrain, how slippery is the terrain, is the terrain coarse or smooth, does the terrain have any obstructions, such as rocks) and (5) a mechanical design of the apparatus that can respond to the dynamic control and dynamic drive.

Hybrid terrain-adaptive lower-extremity systems

An architected system of distribution of power and information using copper wire for power distribution and fiber optic for communication of information. The architected system is comprehensive for connections and upgrades related to the function, installation, terminations at every junction of a 3 wire plus light system. The archetected system enables each powered device in a smart home, smart office, or smart industrial installation with respect to a permanent and adaptable framework for an network foundation and structure. The architected system may include: wire, connectors, housings, devices, extension cords, appliance termination points, central processing, central power distribution, and a software methods for reliable data distribution.
