The Utah NeuroRobotics Lab was recently awarded a $96,500 grant from the University of Utah's Partners for Innovation, Ventures, Outreach and Technology (PIVOT) Center. This grant will help out lab bridge the funding gap between research and commercialization by providing support for technology development, proof of concept, and to prepare the innovation for additional investment by entrepreneurs, investors, and potential licensees. Specifically, the objective of this grant is to demonstrate the feasibility of expanding our brain-computer interface technology into the broader Internet-of-Things market. We will transition our technology from a rough prototype used to control prostheses/orthoses into a sleek product resembling a smartwatch and capable of controlling numerous smart-home devices simply by thought.
