→ Mamagoose, the baby pyjamas
that help prevent and understand
SIDS
Mamagoose pyjamas have built-in sensors
and an electronic monitoring unit to detect
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
These pyjamas draw on technology used
in two space applications: the analogue
biomechanics recorder experiment and the
respiratory inductive plethysmograph suit.
→ Roboclimber, the space robot
that help to prevent landslides
One of the largest robots ever
constructed will also be one of
the most agile, thanks to
technology derived from ESA
space missions. Known as
Roboclimber, this new
climbing machine is
designed to prevent
landslides without
endangering
human lives.
→ Advanced fluidic filter (PAT 642)
Multi-layer mesh filter for fluids with an
improved structure that maximizes the
surface and prevents particle build up.
→ Exoskeleton for the human arm, for
materials handling (PAT 474)
Kinematical structure fixed on the chest of
the operator. Large range of movements
and lightweight. Opportunities in the field
of assembling or manipulating machinery
that require remotely controlled arms.
→ Mechanical support ring structure
(PAT 596)
It uses two pantographs deploying
separately in a cylinder or cone, providing
improvements in stability and stiffness
when deployed, as well as reliability
during deployment.
