Moscow Manufacturing Group Metallist has developed Kometa bionic knee module with built-in microprocessor for lower limb prosthetics. The module is capable of operating on one charge for 10 days, which is an unattainable feature for other manufacturers of similar products.
Kometa bionic knee module is designed for prosthesis users with medium to high mobility. A microprocessor built in the prosthesis acquires and processes real-time data at a rate of more than a thousand times per second, while the neural network predicts the walking rate and pattern, thus making the prosthesis suitable for various walking modes – from relaxed walking to jogging.
The heavy-duty module housing is made by additive printing from RS-553, a unique domestic alloy, and protects electronic components against deformations and physical damage.
“There is a high demand for prosthetic parts is the Russian market. Earlier, these products have been imported. Now, prosthesis components are produced by Rostec’s companies that successfully fulfill the import substitution program. Our products, including those unparalleled in Russia, are compared with the best foreign products and are good value for money,” pointed out Maksim Vybornykh, Deputy General Director of Rostec.
