DETROIT, July 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

RoboGlove licensierat till Bioservo Tehnologies 

Robotteknologi utvecklat genom samarbete mellan General Motors och NASA för användning på den Internationella Rymdstationen ska börja användas inom industrin genom ett licensieringsavtal mellan GM och det svenska medicinteknik bolaget Bioservo Technologies AB.

Bioservo kommer att arbeta med GM och kombinera teknologi från sin egenutvecklade SEM GloveTM (Soft Extra Muscle) som idag användas inom bland annat sjukvård och rehabilitering med RoboGlove, en kraftförstärkande handske som utvecklats under GM och Nasas nioåriga samarbete och som ingick i lanseringen av Robonaut 2 (R2) som används i rymden sedan 2011.

RoboGlove använder sensorer som är jämförbara med nerver och muskler i en mänsklig hand. Ett konstruktions krav på R2 var att kunna använda verktyg avsedda för människor.

Bioservo kommer initialt att utveckla en ny handske för industriell användning som ökar effektiviteten och samtidigt minskar trötthet i muskler och arbetsskador. Forskning visar att trötthet kan inträffa inom några minuter efter kontinuerlig användning av verktyg.

"Kombinationen av det bästa från tre världar - rymdteknik från NASA, teknik från GM och medicinteknik från Bioservo - i en ny industrihandske, kan leda till industriell användning av teknologin", säger Tomas Ward, VD för Bioservo Technologies. Ward beskrev teknikkombination som ett stort steg mot att införa mjuk exoskeleton teknologi globalt.

GM kommer att testa den nya handsken i några av sina fabriker och de kommer att vara den första amerikanska industrikunden för den nya robothandsken. Bioservo tillverkar och säljer idag SEM GloveTM för en mängd olika användningsområden, inklusive rehabilitering, sjukvård och för att minska arbetsrelaterade skador på arbetsplatser.

"Efterföljaren till RoboGlove kan minska mängden kraft som en fabriksarbetare måste utöva när den använder ett verktyg för en längre tid eller med repetitiva rörelser ", säger Kurt Wiese, vice VD för GM Global Manufacturing Engineering.

GM testade RoboGlove i en förproduktionsanläggning innan de började leta efter en partner att utveckla teknologin inom hälsovård, medicinteknik och industriell tillämpning.

Finansiella uppgifter om licensen som beviljats ​​Bioservo av GM, NASA och Oceaneering International Inc. har inte offentliggjorts.

Om Bioservo Technologies 

Bioservo Technologies AB är ledande inom mjuk exoskeleton teknologi och kombinerar medicinsk know-how av människors behov med moderna robotteknologi för att skapa innovativa, kraftförstärkande produkter. Den prisbelönta SEM GloveTM används som hjälpmedel för att kunna gå tillbaka till arbete och som stöd inom vården och i hemmet av personer med nedsatt muskelstyrka eller i behov av ytterligare styrka och uthållighet. Den patenterade SEM ™ (Soft Extra Muscles) teknologin kommer till användning inom innovativa produkter i ett antal internationella projekt, bland annat HandinMind projektet för effektivare strokerehabilitering och IronHand projektet för allmän daglig livsföring (ADL). Den unika tekniken har sitt ursprung från Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan (KTH) och Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset. HandinMind och IronHand projekten har ekonomiskt stöd från EU. Bioservo Technologies AB har sitt huvudkontor och produktionsanläggning i Stockholm. Mer information om bolaget finns på http://www.bioservo.com
