The opportunity

Significant weaknesses in current products

Current Artificial Limb products impose a set of difficulties, discomforts and lack of functionality on their users.

Growing global
demand

Higher rates of limb amputations due to the global diabetes surge and evolving conflicts and wars around the world highlight the growing need for much better artificial limbs than currently exist.

Harnessing
advanced technologies

Rapid technological and scientific advancements in various disciplines, such as AI, materials science, robotics, and biotechnology, offer unprecedented opportunities to improve artificial limb and bio-robotic functionality, usability and comfort.

Innovative Artificial Limbs Conceptual Model

We designed a ground-breaking conceptual model of next-generation artificial limbs, which meticulously defined the functions, principles of action and technology pathway to enable the development of superior next-generation artificial limbs. Our Conceptual model will direct and inspire our synergistic R&D effort.
