Description

BionicM is a developer of robotic prosthesis technology that offers prosthetic legs for those who have lost their mobility due to surgical removal of limbs. Their technology enables handicapped and non-handicapped patients to perform daily tasks like standing up, walking, or climbing stairs. The company is focused on improving the mobility and quality of life for below-limb amputees by building robotic prostheses, including a robotic knee and robotic ankle. BionicM has been conducting research on innovative technologies since 2015 at the University of Tokyo's Information Systems Engineering Laboratory (JSK) under the guidance of Professor Inaba, utilizing the world's most advanced robotics research. In 2016, they were adopted by the Japan Science and Technology Agency as part of "Program for Creating STart-ups from Advanced Research and Technology" (START), and in 2018, the company was established as a joint-stock company.
