Precision drive systems
Maxon and Fourier Intelligence announce collaboration
The Maxon Group and Fourier Intelligence are entering into a global strategic partnership. Together, Maxon's precision drive systems and Fourier's robotic rehabilitation will enable new technologies for patients.
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in rehabilitation services and healthcare. This is why clinicians, engineers and companies want to accelerate the development of technological solutions to best meet the needs of patients. This is also the aim of the partnership between Maxon and the start-up Fourier Intelligence, which specializes in exoskeletons and robotic rehabilitation. The companies are pooling their expertise to develop technology products and platforms for the treatment of patients. In December 2020, the companies signed a joint letter of intent to this effect.
"The partnership between Maxon and Fourier is a powerful combination," says Eugen Elmiger, CEO of the Maxon Group. "Fourier's understanding of the interplay between modern rehabilitation robotics and technological products perfectly complements maxon's philosophy of making the world a better place with our precise drive systems."
Fourier already uses electric motors from Maxon in its ExoMotus X2 exoskeleton. In addition, Maxon will become part of the Exoskeleton & Robotics Open Platform System (EXOPS), an open platform for research and development of exoskeleton and robotics systems. Maxon will provide prospective engineers who want to develop robotic solutions for rehabilitation services with a variety of customized drive options including motors, gearboxes, encoders and controllers.
"The partnership with Maxon will enable us to provide the best technology portfolio on which to conceptualize, design and build the next generation of transformative technology products and platforms," said Zen Koh, co-founder and deputy CEO of Fourier Intelligence. "Together, as one team, we will unlock the full potential of technological rehabilitation and best support patients on their road to recovery."
