Synopsis

In 2020, when Tokyo hosts the Olympic Games, it will also host the Paralympic Games.

He has done very promising work on robotic limbs at the MIT Media Lab, with a particular focus on artificial legs for athletes. Endo's conviction is that "disabilities lie not in humans but in technology". We speak with this visionary engineer.
