2. Various of Angus standing in exoskeleton
3. Various of Angus moving around
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Chloe Angus, Director, Human in Motion Robotics:
"How we differentiate and how we have stepped into the next generation of exoskeletons is that we are a fully independent self-balancing exoskeleton, meaning that we do not need arm crutches or a walker to use the device. You don’t have to have upper body strength. We can accommodate much higher levels of injury and we can also get people into exoskeleton sooner after injury with our device."
5. Various of Angus dancing in exoskeleton
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Chloe Angus, Director, Human in Motion Robotics:
"But the overall goal of the entire company is to keep working on our development specifically for a personal home use device. So that’s going to be a device that’s going to be used every day by everybody, and that’s going to be a really exciting time because that’s going to be an opportunity to actually replace my wheelchair. And once I get my exoskeleton at home, you won’t find me in my chair anymore. I’m going to be up and moving the way I’m supposed to be. Happy, healthy, going the grocery store. And I can reach the things off the top shelf!"
7. Various of Derek Nicholson, Operations Director, Fundamental VR, using surgical simulator trainer to do VR shoulder arthroscopy, using Haply Inverse 3 haptics equipment
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Derek Nicholson, Operations Director, Fundamental VR:
"We work with a number of large clients, typically medtech companies, pharma companies and surgical robotics companies. A lot of the time, the kind of use cases, for example, with a surgical robot, they have really expensive pieces of kit. And so they’re actually put to use actually doing surgery, a lot of the time. Staff can’t get a lot of time on the real robot to do training. So we create a digital twin and allow them to actually train using a much cheaper system like this."
9. Various of Nicholson doing VR procedure
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Derek Nicholson, Operations Director, Fundamental VR:
"Well, these devices are some of the best haptic devices on the market. They give you submillimeter accuracy and up to 40 Newtons of force. Now, with our programing team and our art team there, we can actually simulate many different surfaces- solids, give you lots of different textures. You can feel the difference between bone, between metal, between a surface. You can deform between a hard surface. Actually work inside and drill into things. We can create a whole load of different feelings. And they are good enough that once you’re inside the VR, within 5 to 10 minutes, you forget you’re in a training simulation. You think you’re actually doing it."
