Kurage and Sateco: Jointly breaking new ground for prostheses

French startup Kurage is an industry leader in combining innovative medical technology and top-class sports in a more inclusive world. It uses intelligent products to help people with limited mobility move their paralyzed limbs. One key element of their neuroprosthesis Mehr

Molded elastic sensors: from scale-up to commercialization

While stretchable electronics is most commonly realized by printing, this paper shows an alternative approach using proven elastomer molding technology. The design and manufacturing of a soft capacitive sensor is shown which can continuously measure both touch and compressive force. Mehr

Capacitive silicone force sensor SXTSC by Sateco makes gripping safe and dexterous

The human hand exhibits a dexterity yet unmatched by technology. Force sensors can close this gap by offering feedback on the grip force, thus avoiding damage to delicate and fragile objects such as food and human body. The elastomer sensor Mehr
