Secures $3.5 Million USD Seed Round to Transform Haptic Technology for Medical Training and Beyond
Summary
MONTREAL, QC March 21, 2022 Haply Robotics has announced the successful completion of a $3.5 million USD seed round of investment led by the Deep Tech Venture Fund at BDC Capital, Canadas most active VC investor. With this investment, Haply Robotics, winners of the Innovative Solutions Canadas Haptic Systems Challenge award, aims to further innovate haptic technology for medical training and gamification, robotic control, and 3D content design. The Montreal-based company develops high-performing, portable, and affordable haptic controllers, led by their flagship Inverse3 device.BDC Capitals Deep Tech Venture Fund is a CAD $200 million fund investing in early-stage Canadian companies that are developing transformational technologies in deep tech verticals such as quantum, electronics, photonics, foundational AI, robotics, and related fields.Haplys Inverse3 is a precision haptic 3D mouse that allows users to feel what its like to cut tissue, drill into bone, or excise fat in robotic surgery or in virtual surgical training. With the rise of importance in 3D applications in enterprise design, manufacturing, and gaming, this technology has the potential to shape the future of 3D interaction across sectors.Haply Robotics technology has the potential to meaningfully transform the way that humans interact with digital content. "We are excited to have secured this funding to continue our mission of building haptic products that will redefine the way that humans interact with 3D content, said Haply Robotics President, Colin Gallacher.
