OUR VIEW
alking is the most efficient way to move and transport payload in an anthropomorphic environment. It offers maximum maneuverability with the lowest energy consumption. This is why it is the focus of biomorphic robotics and human arthroplasty.
W
et such ability comes at a cost ($2.8K – $204.8K for robots). The main reason: the need for a complex of single-axis servos to simulate, e.g. only one hip joint of the robot. Human endoprostheses can be used for this, but they wear out asymmetrically and become loose.
Y
offers a solution
to both problems.
OUR TEAM
Consisting of members with different backgrounds, it answers to diverse set of needs such project requires from research and prototyping to testing and finding funding.

PROJECT SUMMARY
hanks to our research and the use of evolutionary mechanical circuits developed in nature, a revolution in the creation of hip replacements is now possible. Replication of ligament analogues will allow:
•increase the durability of the endoprosthesis
•reduce the likelihood of complications
•increase patient comfort.
Testing an endoprosthesis as a joint for a walking robot:
•reduce the suffering of laboratory animals
•shorten the path to clinical use
demonstrates the effectiveness of the technical solution.

e‘ve created a team of experienced enthusiasts who don‘t get
hung up on obstacles. Being ready to “sail independently” we are
also open for cooperation with Johnson & Johnson laboratories.
Let‘s make prosthetics better together!
