Spike Dynamics, an innovator in advanced actuation technology, announces the open release of its linear piezo actuators, which the company describes as “a breakthrough designed to mimic natural muscle movement in an ultra-compact form”.
By open-sourcing the design, the company aims to accelerate innovation in robotics and wearable devices, where traditional motors are often too bulky, noisy, or fragile.
Unlike traditional product launches, Spike Dynamics is taking a collaborative approach. The company has open-sourced its NASA reviewed actuator design, making it available to researchers, engineers, and startups who want to explore, test, and adapt the technology.
