SUSTAINABLE INNOVATIONS Spring.Summer 23 #6<\/h3>\n

This creates a cycle: when the foot of the user compresses one part of the circuit against the floor (during a step), the pressure and volume are transferred to the active part, which powers it.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”72194″ media_width_percent=”100″ alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1650448338152{margin-right: 100px !important;margin-left: 100px !important;}”]As an interface between sport, wellness and health,<\/strong> the start-up creates products that can be used medically, for relaxation or to support movement, depending on requirements. Currently, the young, international team at MotorSkins is working on textiles that are attached to the joints to make running easier – either for normal movements or also for illnesses. Inspired by nature, made for people. <\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_horizontal=”left” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”72196″ media_width_percent=”98″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”72198″ media_width_percent=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text border_style=”dotted” css=”.vc_custom_1650448379959{margin-right: 100px !important;margin-left: 100px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

\u201cMotorSkins technology bridges the functionality of soft-robotics with the versatility of textiles. We are a development platform for applications that explore human-machine interaction. Our technology creates a new paradigm of innovation in materials\u00a0and sustainability where smart active elements are made without integrating electronics or batteries.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
