Wearable Robotics has secured €5M in Series A funding to expand its haptic feedback exoskeleton technology that enables precise control of robotic arms through VR integration. The funding round will accelerate development of the company's human-robot interface systems.
Technology Applications Span Multiple Industries
The company's exoskeleton system combines multi-joint articulated robotic arms with real-time motion tracking and haptic feedback. Users can control robotic systems with natural hand movements while receiving tactile sensations from the robot's interactions.
Target applications include remote surgical procedures, dangerous manufacturing operations, and mobility assistance for disabled individuals. The technology allows operators to feel resistance, texture, and pressure through the haptic interface while controlling robots from safe distances.
Market Expansion and Development Plans
The €5M investment will fund hardware improvements and software optimization for the haptic feedback systems. Wearable Robotics plans to expand its engineering team and accelerate partnerships with medical device manufacturers and industrial automation companies.
The convergence of VR, haptic technology, and robotics creates new possibilities for remote operations where human dexterity combines with robotic precision. Early trials show promising results for both surgical training and hazardous material handling applications.
