Genesis Robotics' LiveDrive Actuator Aims To Change The Way Robots Are Made, Work

International Business Times

Helping the elderly stay in their homes with an assistive robot, giving those with disabilities greater independence by increasing their mobility and improving safety for workers across industries with a single invention sounds ambitious, but that's just Genesis Robotics wants to do with its newly unveiled LiveDrive, a direct-drive robotic actuator. "I think we can even help people walk," Genesis Robotics and LiveDrive President Michael Gibney told International Business Times. "If we can get an exoskeleton, get people out of a wheel chair, we'll be able to really change people's lives." Genesis Robotics hopes to change the way robots are made with its LiveDrive actuator. LiveDrive aims to replace bulky motors, drive belts and gearboxes that limit existing robots in terms of load-bearing, precision, speed and flexibility of use.
