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 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.

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.
