  • Bionics in motion – Johannes Floors on athletic excellence

    Bionics in motion – Johannes Floors on athletic excellence
    Dec 17 2025
    How do people react when they see someone running on blades fast – like really, really fast? Johannes Floors is a German Paralympic sprinter and double below-knee amputee who competes using high-performance prosthetic blades. He has won multiple gold medals at World Championships and Paralympic Games, including in Rio, Tokyo, and Paris. He is also a trained orthopaedic technician, works on his Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and is part in Ottobock’s Research & Development department, where he contributes to advancing prosthetic technologies. In this episode of Taste of Bionics, he talks to Ranga about what led to his decision to amputate both legs below the knees and how it changed his life, and he takes us on his journey on becoming a world class athlete. Tune in to discover how technology, resilience, and curiosity can redefine what it means to be human and why Ottobock is at the forefront of enabling that future.

    The future of prosthetics – Hugh Herr on the dream of eliminating physical disability
    Dec 3 2025
    Every guest is our host Ranga’s favourite guest, of course – but this conversation in particular has him on the edge of his seat: Hugh Herr is a professor at the MIT Media Lab, where he leads the Biomechatronics Group and co-directs the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics. But first of all, he is known for transferring the whole field: After losing both legs in a climbing accident in 1982, Hugh turned personal adversity into scientific innovation. In this episode of Taste of Bionics, he talks to Ranga about developing advanced prosthetic limbs that integrate with the human nervous system, restoring mobility and enhancing physical capabilities. How do bionic limbs work? What about the future of human-machine interfaces? And what are the challenges in translating lab research to real-world applications? Tune in to discover how technology, resilience, and curiosity can redefine what it means to be human and why Ottobock is at the forefront of enabling that future.
