K. A, J. W, and H. W. H, 2009). With the current prosthetic technology, a bionic leg prosthesis such as that produced by MIT’s Bioomechatronics Group consists of three interfaces: a mechanical interface which deals with how the artificial limb is connected to the body, an electrical interface which is how the prosthesis communicates with the body, and a dynamic interface which deals with how the prosthesis functions during movement. The mechanical interface of bionic prostheses consists of artificial limbs that are attached to the body directly using a custom 3D printed synthetic skin, which are more comfortable than that of conventional artificial limbs that force the leg of the amputee to conform to a plastic socket. The synthetic skin shaft is developed to compensate with tissue, such that where the human tissue is soft the shaft is hard and vice versa. The electrical interface consists of electrodes that communicate with the nervous system to power and control
