Rostec will start serial production of the bionic proteobacteria Alexandrov | 13.11.2020
The technodynamics of the state Corporation rostec in 2021 will start mass production of bionic prosthetic arms under the name A. R. M., made entirely from domestic components. Artificial
hand made of metal and polyurethane reproduces the basic motion of the brush, not afraid of dust and moisture and operates up to three days without recharging.
The control of artificial brush is due to the muscle activity sensors – they are attached to the human hand and transmit a signal to the control Board which drives the motors in
joints. The wrist and fingers made of metal that ensures high strength – bionic arm can lift objects weighing up to 10 kg. the Brush is covered with wear-resistant polyurethane and
the finger pads are made of special non-slip material to hold small items. Thanks to the dust and moisture protection the prosthesis does not require additional spending on replacement of cosmetic
glove.
“Bionic prosthesis designed as an affordable and producible alternative to foreign analogues. Today in the queue for prosthetic hands in Russia there are tens of thousands of people. Given that one
imported prosthesis costs an average of 1.5 million rubles, this is a huge burden on the health system. Together with its partners, the Corporation brings to market a unique development, the cost of which
significantly lower than the imported samples. In addition, the prosthesis is made entirely from domestic components, which significantly reduces the time of service,” said
Executive Director of rostec state Corporation Oleg Yevtushenko.
The prosthesis will produce NPP Krasnoznamenets of technodynamics. It was created together with specialists Light Electronics from Multicentre social and labour integration of Leningrad
region, which is headed by Irina Drozdenko. The model is called A. R. M. Project Titanium (Affordable Reliable Modern).
“Unique technical characteristics and ease of use of bioprostheses A. R. M. due to the fact that they were created in direct contact with people who have these devices
to use, given feedback and all the requests. We set ourselves an ambitious task – to create their own “Kalashnikov” is the synonym of reliability in the field
bionic prosthetics and NPP Krasnoznamenets confidently solves this problem, – noted the General Director of holding “Technoceramica” Igor Nasenkov. In the future we plan to adapt
dentures A. R. M. Titanium Project and use their already healthy person in complex and hazardous industrial operations in the defence industry. For example, if the remote work with the fire and
explosive compounds, or in aggressive environment.”
Artificial brush reveals a 10 cm – this gives you the opportunity to hold larger items. The prosthesis has a mechanical twist of the wrist by 180°. The device has a battery
large capacity (2040 mAh) from which the prosthesis can operate without recharging for up to three days. The need to connect the product to the charger prevents light indication. For convenience
users in the prosthesis mounted LED flashlight. The prosthesis is easy to maintain – each of the fingers, if necessary, can be replaced.
The project partners are the Leningrad region government and Multicenter social and labour integration of the Leningrad region (integration of people with disabilities and people with disabilities).
