It said, “The assistive devices are auto-foldable and user-friendly, and are also half the weight of the conventional ones. The limbs are particularly useful in rural regions as they allow people with disabilities and amputees to perform daily activities such as walking, running, swimming, jumping, driving a bike, and farming,” it said.
