2022: Production of children's prostheses using 3D printing

In February 2022, it became known about the start of production of new prosthetic hands of the Motorika company at the Composite-DV enterprise in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In particular, children's prostheses will be produced there. Different brush nozzles are suitable for holding a smartphone, bicycle, racecar, etc.

A separate register of children who need prosthetics will be created in the Khabarovsk Territory. By February 10, 2022, three children and two adults are already provided with new high-tech prostheses.

In Komsomolsk-on-Amur, the production of smart hand prostheses for children was launched

3D printing of the brush will be done at the Skolkovo Innovation Center (Motorika is its resident), other components and the installation of the prosthesis itself will be carried out in the region. The assembly of components takes place on the basis of the Khabarovsk branch of FSUE Moscow Prosthetic and Orthopedic Enterprise. Thus, the client no longer needs to go to Moscow for a fitting. The production time of the prosthesis is reduced, the press service of the government of the Khabarovsk Territory notes.

Prosthetic gadgets "Motors," produced in the region, work due to the installed sensors: when in contact with the body, when a person strains his muscles, current is supplied to a reader installed inside the prosthesis. Fingers are compressed and loosened. With the help of a special application in the phone, you can play any gesture, so we call such prostheses gadgets.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Khabarovsk Territory Yevgeny Nikonov instructed relevant departments to work out an algorithm for informing patients about the possibilities of prosthetics even before being discharged from the hospital. A person should receive the entire set of information materials on the assistance that can be provided to him through the Social Insurance Fund.^[1]

2021: Production of Artificial Intelligence Hand Prostheses

On June 7, 2021, it became known about the launch of the production of bionic prostheses created by Motorika in the Far East. The contract assembly of mechanical units for INDI devices was established at the Composite DV enterprise in Komsomolsk-on-Amur.

According to the press service of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, the manufactured components as part of the finished products will be sent to users in the Far Eastern Federal District and other regions of Russia, part of the products will be exported to the countries of the Asia-Pacific region.

In the Far East, the production of prostheses for hands with AI started

"INDY" is a robotic prosthesis with one kind of grip. The mechanical assembly, as an integral part of the prosthesis, allows you to make a grasping movement with the hand of the prosthesis. The prosthesis is controlled by sensors, and the closure and opening of the brush is performed by a small but powerful electric motor.

Motorics has set itself the task, among other important ones, to diversify the supply and assembly of components - units for prostheses. This will make it possible to form production capacities for multiple growth of the company. Placing orders in the Far East is one of the solutions to the problem, "said Andrei Davidyuk, chairman of the company's board of directors.

Initially, Motorika ordered 150 sets of mechanical units in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, despite the fact that one unit is needed for one prosthesis. By 2022, the company intends to increase the volume to 500-800 sets. This, in turn, will provide nodes up to 30-40% of all prostheses produced by the company in a year.

Earlier in 2021, Motorica raised 300 million rubles from DFVT and RDIF for development and development. Part of the funds will go to the opening in Vladivostok of the Motoriki research center for invasive neurotechnologies together with the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU) and the Skolkovsky Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech). By June 2021, partners began research aimed at stopping phantom pains and sensing the bionic prosthesis. The first operations to inject invasive electronics are planned for August-September 2021.^[2]
