Sarcomere Dynamics Joins Canada Makes!

Published on: September 15, 2023

Canada Makes is thrilled to announce the latest addition to our network of innovators and industry leaders: Sarcomere Dynamics. This cutting-edge company is on a mission to transform the world of tele-robotic systems, elevating safety and efficiency in high-risk scenarios to unprecedented heights. Their vision extends beyond mere innovation; it aims to establish new benchmarks for robotic hand capabilities, ultimately reshaping the landscape of the autonomous robotics industry. 

 Sarcomere Dynamics is a deep tech pioneer, developing and commercializing a cutting-edge near-human robotic hand. They specialize in providing system integrators and manufacturers with superior alternatives to heavy, bulky, expensive, and low-dexterity end-effectors. Sarcomere’s ground-breaking product offers unparalleled functionality, closely resembling the capabilities of a human hand. With their exclusive actuator technology, they have created a compact, lightweight, and remarkably robust robotic hand, boasting exceptional dexterity that rivals human performance, without sacrificing grip strength. This breakthrough innovation enables Sarcomere’s customers to automate intricate tasks that were previously considered too complex for conventional robotics. By addressing the limitations of existing solutions, Sarcomere aims to set a new standard of efficiency, flexibility, and precision in the general automation industry.

 Additive manufacturing plays a pivotal role in the development of their near-human robotic hand by allowing for the intricate internal structures and actuator components that were previously unattainable through conventional manufacturing methods. The complex geometry of the internal structures of the hands and actuator components is not possible with conventional manufacturing methods. By harnessing the power of AM, Sarcomere significantly reduces the total number of parts required and the overall assembly time, further highlighting their dedication to efficiency and precision in the world of automation.

As demonstrated in a series of videos below, Sarcomere Dynamics has already showcased the remarkable capabilities of their near-human robotic hand. From precision placement tasks to delicate pick-and-place maneuvers, Sarcomere's technology has pushed the boundaries of what was once considered possible in the realm of tele-robotics. We look forward to collaborating with Sarcomere at upcoming events and initiatives! Want to learn more about them?
