Designed and developed for the Bristol Robotics Laboratory and now playing rock, paper scissors with visitors to Science Live at the Science Museum, London, RT-1 is a self-contained, fully automated robotic torso, based on human anatomy at adult human scale. It is a highly articulated manipulating platform with novel 36 degrees of freedom and dexterous hands that can emulate human gesturing.
Characteristics unique to the SILA technology allows sensing through the actuator mechanism.
The application space for high performance linear actuation is expanding rapidly
“I never thought I’d find the actuator I’ve been looking for, here on my doorstep.”
Following our trip to Iceland to demonstrate SILA P6 to Ossur, we’re working with Alastair Flew at Electro Kinetic Designs to tune SILA for Ossur evaluation.
