Open Bionics alternatives

Open Bionics, founded in Bristol in 2014, makes bionic prosthetic arms and hands for children and adults with upper-limb differences, fitted through its own specialist clinics and a national partner clinic network, with cumulative funding of US$7.83M. Users and clinics comparing that clinical model with robot-first suppliers have four alternatives to examine. PSYONIC is the nearest counterpart: its Ability Hand serves prosthetics users and clinics in the United States and is also sold as an end effector to robotics research and humanoid teams. TESOLLO steps fully into robotics, exporting robotic hands and multi-joint grippers from South Korea to 20 countries since its founding in 2019. Wonik Robotics, headquartered in Pangyo, Seongnam, supplies dexterous hands and end effectors into industrial automation markets under parent company Wonik Holdings. Zimmer Group, an owner-managed German family company founded in 1980 with about 1,400 employees, covers the industrial gripping mainstream — handling technology, grippers and end-of-arm tooling produced at three Baden-Württemberg sites and sold through 125 branches and dealers. Choose PSYONIC to keep a prosthetics option with a research channel, TESOLLO or Wonik Robotics for robot hands from Korean suppliers, and Zimmer Group where the conversation turns to factory gripping at scale.
