Two Auckland spin-outs and Fraunhofer Institute collaborate to bring an exoskeleton arm brace to market within three years.
Auckland University and Fraunhofer Institute are partnering to develop an exoskeleton arm brace which can mimic natural movements as it has a flexible elbow. The partnership is set to last for three years.
Bioengineering researchers at the university are using previously spun out technology. The first is StretchSense, which embeds electronics into artificial muscle devices that detect movement. The second is IMeasureU, which is commercialising a wireless inertial sensor.
Researchers at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute will be responsible for the…
