Open-Source Leg
@opensourceleg.bsky.social
The Open-Source Leg (OSL) is revolutionizing prosthetic research through open-source hardware and software. By providing scalable tools and fostering a global community, we’re empowering innovators to tackle the biggest challenges in robotic prosthetics an
Project Update: We’ve transitioned the OSL forum to Discourse.

The same community, now with a clearer structure, searchable archives, and a scalable space for global collaboration.

The Open Healthware Conference @oshwassociation.bsky.social started today and there’s still time to join virtually.

At 1:20 PM EST, our community and marketing manager will share how lessons from the Open‑Source Leg are helping shape sustainable, community‑driven open‑source.

The OSL team will be at the @oshwassociation.bsky.social Open Healthware Conference in New York City on August 1-2.

Kiara Vasquez , our community manager, will present how OSL serves as a case study for building sustainable, open‑source healthware that connects research labs and communities.

You don’t need a lab to get started.
The Open-Source Leg is fully documented, Python-native, and open to anyone curious enough to build.

Prosthetics research shouldn't be hard to access.
This is what building a prosthetic leg looks like today.

We’re thrilled to welcome Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II to the #Humotech community! The team recently purchased an @opensourceleg.bsky.social‬ for their cutting-edge research in #WearableRobotics.

We’re looking forward to visiting Naples at the end of June! Stay tuned for updates. 🌍

The internet wasn’t built in a day. Neither is the future of prosthetics.

At RehabWeek 2025, we witnessed what’s possible when open-source hardware meets open collaboration.

This week, we’re at RehabWeek 2025!

To join and shape conversations around open hardware, shared systems, and what it means to democratize robotics research.

The OSL team’s visit to FSU/FAMU highlights what’s possible when open-source principles guide collaboration: cross-institutional support, barrier-free learning, and a shared commitment to progress.

We’re not just building technology—we’re building an ecosystem.

Accessibility shouldn’t stop at hardware. Innovation shouldn’t depend on where you start.

The Open-Source Leg isn’t just a prosthetic—it’s a global ecosystem of makers redefining bionics. Together, we’re proving that open collaboration unlocks what’s next in robotics and human mobility.
