OpenAI's recent advancements, including a GPT-4-based model with new capabilities, indicate significant strides towards human-like thinking and problem-solving.
Scientists have created a new artificial foot that closely mimics natural human movement.
This prosthetic foot uses special springs and a flexible toe joint to copy how real feet work.
