OYMotion
OYMotion Technologies is a Shanghai company founded in 2015 by Hualiang Ni that researches and builds biometric sensors, intelligent bionic hands, neurorehabilitation exoskeletons and body-worn dexterous hands using AI recognition of neural signals. The idea for its OHand bionic hand came from Ni's aim to create a life-like prosthetic for amputees, and its team includes doctors from the Department of Hand Surgery at Huashan Hospital and Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2016 it completed a beta gForce EMG armband, and in 2018 version 0.9 of the OHand. It holds 55 core patents and has extended into embodied intelligence with the ROHand series of dexterous hands, models with 11 joints and 6 active degrees of freedom, including the ROH-A002, the ROH-LiteS001 and the premium ROH-AP001 with force feedback. In March 2026 OYMotion completed a Series C1 round.
💡Notable Achievement: OYMotion holds 55 core patents and completed a Series C1 round in March 2026.
