Born in Shiqian County in Guizhou Province, 36-year-old Sun Xiaojun used to be the most active student in class. This changed after he broke an ankle and was diagnosed with osteomyelitis(骨髓炎)at the age of 9. His right leg later had to be amputated. His family spent all of their money on the operation. The young man then made the decision to study hard.
In 2006, Sun entered the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, Hubei Province, studying material forming and control engineering(材料成型及控制工程). In 2009, he won the chance to continue his studies at Japan’s Tohoku University. “I started to wear a prosthesis(假肢)two years after I began studying in Japan. I had never worn one before, so it took quite a long time to get used to it,” he said.
The experience wasn’t very comfortable. He would sometimes fall over when he tried to walk fast, which made him feel awkward(尴尬的). In 2013, he came up with the idea of creating a smarter prosthesis that used robotics. In 2018, he set up BionicM in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, to create inventions to help those with a disability. Sun won the Red Dot Best of the Best Award in 2020 because of his robotic prosthetic knee.
“I myself use a prosthetic limb(肢), and I’m also a researcher. There are about 4 million people in China with amputated lower limbs,” he added. “The cost of a common prosthesis is around 60,000 to 100,000 yuan, unaffordable for most.” Sun said most prostheses are produced in Europe. “I didn’t start my company for the money, but to make a product that is useful to society. Amputees have a basic need to walk,” he said. According to Sun, the robotic knee his company produces is priced at around 300,000 yuan per pair, while similar products sold elsewhere average around 800,000 yuan. Admitting that this is not ideal, he said that his robotic knees are still in small-scale(小范围)production. He hopes that by raising more money, he’ll be able to expand(扩大)production and make his invention more affordable.
