Ras Labs


Overview

Ras Labs is a platform business model, based upon a class of electroactive polymers that contract and expand when controlled by low voltage. Our first target market of the world of soft robotics where we see a need for safe self -contained electrically driven soft actuators that can sense pressure (tactile touch) in life-like biometric grippers. Other potential markets include prosthetics, force sensors, ear buds, foot wear and innersoles.
