scientific basis
Since our founding in 2006, we have generated scientific knowledge year after year, participating in dozens of basic and applied research projects at a European level.
We have established ourselves as a collaborating partner with leading Technology Centers (NOVEX, AITEX, CETMAR, and CTAG, for example) and multinational companies that rely on us to develop their most ambitious research projects.
In addition, we have always made an effort to share our advancements through conferences, technology forums, scientific events, and technical publications.

engineering as glue
Driven by the idea of breaking away from the man-machine stereotype, we began our research journey in the field of biomechanical engineering. Precisely because we are not machines, society needs a more human-centered engineering approach—one that values our true nature and uses technology as support, not as a replacement.
After 25 years dedicated exclusively to the UMANA project, and with more than 50 R&D projects behind us, we have gained enough knowledge to understand that there is still much to learn every day. This continuous curiosity has been the driving force behind our company for over 20 years, pushing us to improve and grow.
What sets UMANA apart is a unique way of understanding biomechanics as a science: a fusion of technical and medical knowledge, with the precision of engineering acting as the unifying element.
