Humans never stop running.
Xiborg's goal has been to make prosthetic athletes the fastest in the world and to bring the joy of running to prosthetic users around the world. To achieve this goal, we needed not only to popularize sports prostheses among prosthetic users, but also to change the structure of society as a whole, which has been designed around able-bodied people.
We are now limited in most aspects of our lives, just as some of us have been limited in mobility due to physical disabilities. However, humanity has never, under any circumstances, stopped playing sports. Just as we invented technology to run with our physical deficiencies, we will surely reform our social structure this time and start running again.
Xiborg sees the year during which the Paralympics were postponed as a time to go back to the basics and rethink the meaning of human running. It is precisely at times like these that we should reconsider the meaning of human movement/running and the meaning of sports.
Xiborg Activities
Support for athletes
As in the past, we will continue to do our best to create an environment where athletes can practice quickly and safely for the coming year, not to mention research and development of blades and other equipment using the motion analysis and findings from the blade runner data we have been measuring.
Preparing to Spread the Blade Runner
The Blade is not just for athletes, it is simply a tool for running. In other words, it is for all prosthetic leg users. The act of running is everyone's right and no one can take it away. We aim to democratize the blade, and as one approach to achieve this, we are developing inexpensive carbon blades and preparing a model for their widespread use to create an environment where people can run safely even under such circumstances.
Community Formation
Xiborg has often been featured in various media, but in the future we will actively communicate our ideas through online events, etc., and form a community where many people can participate and think deeply about the significance of technology and sports. At the same time, the proceeds from participation fees will support the activities of NPOs and other organizations that are currently struggling and are promoting related projects.

We are looking forward to collaborating with many people in the future. Please feel free to contact us if you are considering doing business in the same direction.
