Austin was a fictional character with an almost completely bionic body, which was such a futuristic concept, and one that I never thought I would see in my lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>We’ll, after speaking with Dr. Matt Carney, it seems we might be at the tipping point of when we could possibly see a real-life Col. Steve Austin sooner than we think.  Matt is an expert on Biometrics.  He received his PhD from MIT, focused on Biomechatronics, has a BS and Masters in Mechanical Engineering, and eight years of industry experience in Medical device, wind power, humanoid robotics systems, and lower extremity walking robots.  Quite the resume, and Matt might also be the guy who brings us to the next level of Biomechatronics.  I’ll be honest, I knew nothing about this field, but after speaking with Matt, I’m very excited about the future of this area of study.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Listen into my full
