    • The art of rewiring – Jennifer Ernst on innovative amputation medicine

      The art of rewiring – Jennifer Ernst on innovative amputation medicine
      Jan 21 2026
      Working in the field of nerve regeneration has a lot in common with being an electrician, says Dr. Jennifer Ernst. She is Head of Innovative Amputation Medicine, Department of Trauma Surgery, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH). A specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Jennifer has special knowledge in modern surgical techniques such as targeted muscle rein nervation (TMR), osseointegration and Agonist-Antagonist-Myoneuronal-Interface (AMI). In this episode of Taste of Bionics, together with Ranga, she explores the main advantages of such procedures, the current limitations and existing challenges. Where is the development in amputation medicine headed and what will the next milestones be?

    • Muscles and machines – Connor Glass on new approaches to prosthesis control

      Muscles and machines – Connor Glass on new approaches to prosthesis control
      Jan 7 2026
      What happens when the boundary between humans and machines starts to dissolve? Dr. Connor Glass is the Founder and CEO of Phantom Neuro, a neurotechnology company building the next generation of human–machine interfaces. With a background in medicine and research at Johns Hopkins, Connor left clinical practice to tackle a deeper challenge: how humans can intuitively and seamlessly control the machines that extend their capabilities. In this episode of Taste of Bionics, Connor talks to Ranga about developing Phantom X, a minimally invasive muscle-machine interface that enables intuitive control of prosthetic limbs and robotic devices, and how to make high-performance neural control accessible and scalable – not only for amputees, but also for broader applications in robotics and human augmentation.

    • 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.
