Human. Bionic. Italian. Designed For Everyone.
The most advanced technology and outstanding design, created to serve people.
Who We Are
From research to real-world impact: the new generation of bionic prosthetics.
We are Ars Bionica, an innovative startup from Rehab Technologies Lab, a joint laboratory between the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and INAIL.
After more than 10 years of research, we decided to turn science into enterprise — bringing bionics into everyday life.
Our team brings together engineers, designers, and researchers who believe in technology that is inclusive, accessible, and beautiful to wear.
What We Do
Bionics as an ally of well-being and freedom.
We design and manufacture bionic prostheses that merge technology, aesthetics, and functionality.
Our solutions replicate the body’s natural movements, restoring autonomy, comfort, and confidence.
Each product is born from dialogue between science and people, following a co-design approach with users and prosthetic specialists.
Products
Upper and lower limbs: a complete range to help you move again, naturally.
Hannes
A multifunctional, intuitive, and powerful bionic hand, capable of replicating 90% of natural hand movements.
Hannes Arm
An active prosthetic elbow, compatible with osteointegration and equipped with gravitational stabilization and smart control. It enables smooth, natural, and precise movements, enhancing comfort and freedom of motion.
Armonico
A bionic foot and ankle that return energy and adaptability with every step.
Unico
A semi-active knee with intelligent control that reduces muscular effort and improves balance.
AI4Sense
A proprietary AI-driven sensory technology providing non-invasive feedback and a more natural, responsive control of the prosthesis.

Our Goals
From research to market, restoring movement and value to people.
We aim to make bionics accessible to everyone and build an Italian value chain in rehabilitation technology.
We are seeking financial, industrial, and commercial partners to:
- industrialize the devices and set up production;;
- expand its presence in Italy, Europe, and the US;;
- create qualified jobs and partnerships with local SMEs;
- promote a sustainable, circular approach to bionics, inspired by the principles of the circular economy.
