The company "Motorika", a resident of the biomedical cluster of the Skolkovo Foundation, announced the launch of a student competition in the field of prosthetics and rehabilitation

The Motorica HumanX Prize competition is addressed to high school students, undergraduates and graduate students from Russia and CIS countries. Its goal is to find and implement new breakthrough solutions and technologies that have not yet been used in upper limb prostheses and subsequent rehabilitation. "Young engineers challenged outdated ideas and decided to unite all talented students and young scientists who are not afraid to take a fresh look at what a modern prosthesis should be," the competition description says. As a prize, the winner will receive, among other things, a nominal scholarship of 500 thousand rubles.

The jury will evaluate the usefulness of the solution for users; the level of technical elaboration (idea \ prototype), feasibility and market perspective of the solution.

Applications are accepted until May 31, 2018.

Details are available on the contest website.
