34-year-old Sun Xiaojun got terribly ill at the age of 9. He lost his right leg. After that, the young man made the decision to study hard.
In 2006, Sun went to university and studied material forming and control engineering. In 2009, he went to Japan for further study. He started to wear a prosthesis(假肢) two years after he arrived in Japan and it took quite a long time to get used to it. The experience wasn’t very comfortable. He would fall over when he tried to walk fast. In 2013, he came up with the idea of creating a smarter prosthesis that used robotics.
In 2018, he founded BionicM in Shenzhen, and his robotic prosthesis won him the Red Dot (点): Best of the Best prize in 2020. The prosthesis they've created has a mind of its own and allows people to move by sensing what they want.
According to Sun, the robotic knee that his company produces is priced at around 300,000 yuan per pair, while similar products sold elsewhere for around 800, 000 yuan. Sun hopes that by raising more money he'll be able to produce more prostheses and help more people.
