Problem
Traditional robotic systems often struggle to replicate the fluidity and adaptability of human-like movements, which limits their effectiveness in complex automation tasks and human-machine interactions. Existing actuator technologies lack the necessary compliance, speed, and control for lifelike motion.
Solution
Artimus Robotics develops HASEL (Hydraulically Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic) actuators and high-voltage electronics that enable robots and machines to achieve organic and highly controllable motion. HASEL actuators utilize flexible materials, liquid dielectrics, and electrostatic forces to deliver high power-to-weight motion. These actuators offer a unique combination of softness, silence, and speed, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including haptics, bio-inspired robotics, and industrial automation. Artimus Robotics also provides high-voltage amplifiers with integrated power supplies and digital controllers to drive HASEL actuators.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes robotics developers, automation engineers, and product designers in industries such as automotive, deep sea exploration, defense, haptics, industrial automation, and medical devices.
