THE ROADMAP

Hip-actuated device

Hip-actuated, worn on a belt with thigh cuffs. This is the device a laboratory receives today.

Bench characterisation

Torque, latency and residual torque measured on the bench and written into the specification we issue.

Knee module

In development. Not part of the current device, and not quoted as if it were.

Torque profiles

Profile format and the interface a researcher writes against.

Telemetry schema

Channels, units and rates documented in full for the laboratories we work with.

Synchronisation

Hardware trigger checked against each capture system by name, rather than claimed in general.

Investigator console

Session review and export for the investigator, with synthetic data until a laboratory records its own.

First laboratory placements

Units placed with laboratories. They write the protocol, hold the approval and own the data.

First publications

Authored and submitted by the laboratories. We are named in the methods section, not on the paper.

Reference dataset

A dataset recorded with the instrument, published for download so a lab can read the schema before it commits.

Specification and quotation

Specification, price, lead time and warranty, issued to a named institution.

Supplier registration

The registrations a grants office checks before a purchase order can be raised.

Service and spares

A stated response time, a repair route and parts on the shelf — the things an institution asks about before it buys.

Electrical safety and EMC testing

Electrical safety and EMC testing, with reports an institution can put in front of its safety office.

Battery certification

Battery certification, without which the instrument cannot be shipped.

Documentation for IRB submissions

The document pack an institution submits with its ethics application.
