The Cybathlon 2024 marked the debut of Omnia, a novel lower limb prosthetic prototype designed for individuals with transfemoral amputations. This system comprises a knee (Unico) and an ankle (Armonico), both motorized. Omnia was the only device to reach the "Leg Prosthesis" final without using commercial components.
