Esper Bionics’ new technology allows you to control a drone by changing the position of the prosthesis in space and straining various muscles.
Ukrainian startup Esper Bionics is testing a new prosthetic control system MARS that allows you to control a drone. This was announced by the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mikhail Fedorov on his Telegram channel.
As the head of the Ministry of Digital Development explains, MARS uses special sensors and artificial intelligence to recognize muscle movements. In this way, the prosthesis can fully understand the intention of its user.
“This approach makes controlling the prosthesis more natural and opens up new possibilities for controlling technologies such as drones in the future,” the publication says.

Mikhail Fedorov also published a video in which the UAV is controlled using a prosthetic arm. According to him, the working principle of the device resembles a computer mouse. The direction and angle of the drone is controlled by hand movement, and the button press is controlled by muscle tension.
The video shows testing a prototype of a “smart” prosthesis. Esper Bionics plans to bring the full version to market next year.
Let us also remind you that the Ukrainian company Versi Bionics is preparing to produce futuristic bionic prosthetic hands that can reproduce the capabilities of real limbs to the maximum extent.
It has also been reported that a pioneering surgical procedure allows amputees to gain bionic limbs controlled directly by the nervous system.
