Our people
Ten years and counting. It started when Ugur, a biomedical engineer chasing big ideas at Imperial College London, crossed paths with Firat, fresh from Harvard's soft robotics lab, where the field was essentially born. They clicked, the rest is history. What began as a shared curiosity became a shared mission: building wearable technology that truly adapts to the human body. A decade later, the team has grown, but the chemistry hasn't changed.
