Touchlab Raises $4.8M in Seed Funding
Summary
Touchlab, a deep tech company based at The Higgs Centre for Innovation in Edinburgh, Scotland that develops electronic skin (e-skin) for robots, raised a further $4.8m in seed funding. This technology is enabled by the (traditionally missing) sense of touch and has been demonstrated over a distance of more than 600 kilometres. Although not advertised as such, it could easily become part of a future metaverse to enable telecommuting, especially in dangerous environments. The Telerobot is also seeing traction in the medical sector, where Touchlab has scheduled a pilot with a Finnish hospital (to run later this year). When using the Telerobot, a proxy will be installed between a healthcare provider and patient, which is expected to reduce the transmission of healthcare-acquired infections (HAI’s).
