OmniTact was founded to commercialize a robotic manipulation sensor designed by researchers at UC Berkeley. The sensor uses micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations of a gel-based skin. It is designed to be used as a fingertip for robotic manipulation with robotic hands, and uses multiple micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations. This provides a rich signal from which a variety of different contact state variables can be inferred using modern image processing and computer vision methods.
SirenOpt makes sensors and software that accelerate R&D and enable cost-effective manufacturing of high-performance micro- and nano-materials, including Lithium-ion batteries, membranes, semiconductors, flexible electronics, packaging materials, and many others. The company's real-time sensing and software platform, designed for cost-effective manufacturing of thin films, offers cold atmospheric plasmas and physics-informed machine learning that collects critical manufacturing data. The platform uses that data to quantify and mitigate manufacturing variability in real...
SmartSense Energy developed sensors that predict faults in underground electric utility cables, enabling repair of cables before faults occur. The company received California Energy Commission's Energy Innovations Small Grant (EISG) to spin out technology from UC Berkeley research into a company. Founder and CEO Ryan Hanley, Haas MBA 2011, and his team accelerated the commercialization of the technology in the UC Berkeley Cleantech to Market course, and the team won the Cleantech to Open Business Plan Competition in 2010.
Cognitive Wearable Technologies developed a minimally obtrusive wearable system that can assess cognitive performance continuously throughout normal life activities by excitation of the peripheral nervous system and detection of the central nervous system response. The innovative cognitive assessment technology monitors the cognitive state of the wearer continuously throughout the day. The invention was developed in the lab of Boris Rubinsky, UC Berkeley Professor of the Graduate School at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Professor of Bioengineering. The...
