Motorika Company - founded in February 2015 by engineer to robotics Ilyyoy Chekh and specialist 3D printing Vasily Khlebnikov. The company was organized as a result of joint work on the project of Can-Touch.ru and W.E.A.S. Robotics.
LLC "Motorika" is engaged in the development and production of traction and bionic prostheses of hands for children and adults, and also creates an ecosystem for users of various technical means of rehabilitation.
"Motor" creates electromechanical prostheses of the upper extremities and a training system for their users. The company's products are traction and bionic prostheses of hands and technologies in rehabilitation. The project team sees its task as creating prostheses that will not only compare in capabilities with a real hand, but also surpass it. For this, modern methods of controlling prostheses (removing electrical impulses from muscles) are used, and the prostheses themselves receive additional functions: color displays, control units for digital equipment or a radio-controlled model, cameras are built into them. Additional nozzles are designed for certain movements and loads.
Performance indicators
From 2016 to July 2021, the company produced more than 2,600 prostheses for 1,500 people in 12 countries, including unique cases of prosthetics for children who were previously refused due to the complexity of the injury due to the lack of suitable solutions.
History
2024: Repositioning towards medical cybernetics
The company "Motorica," a manufacturer-developer of prostheses and neurointerfaces, on February 5, 2024 announced that it was starting to position itself as a company of medical cybernetics, and also announced a change in corporate identity.
Medical cybernetics is a related discipline in the fields of IT, medicine and robotics. In the USSR, Professor Anatoly Kitov became the founder of the scientific direction "Medical Cybernetics." In 1959, the Scientific Council on Cybernetics was organized under the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences. For February 2024, the discipline is introduced into medical universities and is already taught by the Russian National Research Medical University named after N.I. Pirogov, SamGMU and SibGMU, etc.
Also, "Motor" will introduce the term Cybernetic Man into its communications - this is a person who skillfully uses technology to control his body and health
The company will combine mobility products with man-machine interfaces. For February 2-24 years, the portfolio contains prostheses of hands, during the year prostheses of legs will be released, as well as neurostimulators for stopping pain syndromes and symptomatic treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. For example: chronic pain and epilepsy
 | Until the fall of 2023, the company focused exclusively on prosthetic hands, and one of our tasks was to give users the maximum opportunities that can be realized in prosthetic hands. In the fall of 2023, a new strategy was adopted. Added to focus are prosthetic legs, wheelchair and other mobility solutions, as well as neurotechnology for the treatment of nervous system nosologies and neurodegenerative diseases. The company pays great attention to research on the sensitivity of artificial limbs. Also, we have always offered our users the concept of cyborgization. Many of our users found this concept comfortable for themselves. Our users are people with new capabilities: bright, strong, purposeful, they take the most from new technologies. During this time, we realized that DNA "Motors" is not just prostheses or technical means of rehabilitation. We are an intermediary between man, technology and medicine, we create their organic synthesis, which could both remove restrictions from the body and expand their capabilities. Today, the company became the leader in functional prosthetics in Russia and entered the top 10 in the world, we became the first Russian prosthetic company in the bond market and are planning an IPO of shares, smoothly transforming into a wide-profile medical holding. Therefore, the transition to cyber is the next step in our evolution, "said Andrei Davidyuk, General Director of Motor. |  |
2023
Launch of the direction for the development of prosthetic legs
The Russian developer and manufacturer of functional prosthetic arms "Motorika" (Skolkovo resident) has begun to develop prosthetic legs. Representatives of "Motor" reported this to Zdrav.Expert on July 18, 2023. According to the company, investments in the direction may amount to several hundred million rubles. The company is looking for developers and partners: the release of the first models is scheduled for 2024. Read more here.
AFK Sistema invests in Motorica
In early June 2023, it became known about the investment of AFK Sistema in the manufacturer of bionic prostheses "Motorica." The interest of the state corporation in the startup is manifested against the background of increased demand for prostheses due to hostilities.
Details of the deal between AFK Sistema and Motorica by June 6, 2023 were not disclosed. Motorik only told Kommersant that the company "continues to develop supplies throughout the Russian Federation, the CIS and in the countries of India and Southeast Asia: Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand." In 2023, the company decided to launch the direction of robotic prosthetic legs and is now looking for ready-made solutions or development teams with pre-production production, the startup said. They also added that an IPO is planned.
MaxBionic CEO Timur Sayfutdinov noted that large Russian companies began to show interest in investing in developers and manufacturers of bionic prostheses. According to him, there will be an increase in the number of prosthetics contracts for participants in a special military operation. According to Sayfutdinov, about 200-300 prosthetic hands with microprocessor control are sold per year.
One prosthesis can cost from 2 million rubles, taking into account the installation, continues the head of MaxBionic. Microprocessor-powered lower limb prostheses sell 1,000-2,000 a year at a similar unit price, he said.
Arthur Martirosov, venture partner of the Voskhod Foundation, believes that the market for upper limb prostheses is growing by more than 15% per year, and the share of bionic and traction prostheses has exceeded 55% and is increasing. According to him, the short-term trend is a special operation, but the key factors for the market are the replacement of cosmetic prostheses and the growth of the segment of children's prosthetics.[1]
2022
Appointed a new general director of the company-manufacturer of cyberprotheses "Motorica"
In November 2022, Andrei Davidyuk became the general director of the Russian company Motorika, which is engaged in the manufacture of prostheses. He replaced co-founder Ilya Chekh, who wrote about his departure on a page on one of the social networks. Read more here.
Conclusion of an agreement on the production of prostheses in Uzbekistan
In October 2022, the Russian manufacturer of prosthetic arms "Motorica" and the agency for the development of medical and social services of Uzbekistan signed a memorandum on the development of the rehabilitation industry in the republic until 2026.

For a technology company in the field of prosthetics, the Asian direction is most promising for a number of reasons:
- more than half of the world's population lives here: 4.5 billion people - 60% of the total number of people in the world;
- according to the Asian Development Bank, the GDP growth rate of Asian countries, with the exception of Japan, will be 4.1% this year, instead of the previously predicted 4%;
- the growth of social guarantees from the state: assistance to people with disabilities has been an important strategic direction in the social policy of the PRC since the 90s of the twentieth century, and in India the expected amount of health care spending in 2021 will be about $205.3 billion;
- active introduction of technologies: the Asian region, according to experts, will soon become a flagship not only in the information and communication technologies market, but also in the digital economy;
- in the region there are more than 20 thousand children and more than 220 thousand adults with amputation of the upper limbs.
| | author '= Ilya Chekh, CEO of Motorika Asia is a kind of magnet for young, tech and progressive companies. We focused on two countries - India and China. In India, more than 1000 children are born annually with hand injuries and about 23.5 thousand amputation operations are carried out. There is a need for an inexpensive prosthetics solution that we can provide. In turn, China is an excellent development opportunity in the venture capital industry. | |
| | The company "Motorica" only in 2018 began to actively promote its products to foreign markets. Since the project is difficult to scale, colleagues have developed models of work, taking into account regional specifics. Thus, the founders of the company bring to another level the rehabilitation industry and the availability of solutions outside Russia, developing and testing a platform solution for the use of technical means of rehabilitation. | |
The global goal of Motorics is to form a platform and product that takes into account the specifics of customers in this region and the regulatory framework of Asia. The next step is to create a company in Singapore that will be responsible for working with investors, protecting intellectual property and coordinating all work in the region.
