• Test for success

The DOMEO partners have secured the support of the French government to continue finessing the technical facets of their robots, and are now pushing towards commercialisation. “Engaging with call centres, insurers, physicians and the emergency services in further large-scale tests will help us to ascertain how our robots function in the real world and allow us to better assess the technological and business strategies for commercialisation.”

• Making the right connections

AAL have been crucial to the ongoing success of DOMEO since the development process, as Dupourqué explains: “They have provided valuable services to us following the conclusion of the project, including opportunities to communicate with the wider scientific community and disseminate our findings.

• Market strategy

Dupourqué believes that AAL provides “a very pragmatic, market-oriented programme. It definitely helps to have a product which is strong, viable and backed by a robust financial plan to obtain their endorsement,” he says. “AAL provides the right kind of support for commercially oriented research nearing the marketplace. The concept and delivery of the support we’ve received from AAL has been very strong and positive.”

• Securing the patent

Having been issued an EU patent in 2014 (a US patent was granted in 2013), the CapMouse team has now been encouraged to actively seek a partner in Europe. They are currently in talks with Sony and are approaching Google and Apple. “These are companies that are big in the world of augmented reality,” explains Brusell. “This is an emerging market for elderly people, because Google Glasses for instance can provide you with all the information you need projected on the screen of your glasses. LipIt can work in perfect harmony with this technology, allowing one to call people and more just with the movement of the lips.”

• From idea to prototype

With the technology on the brink of big things, Brusell believes that it was AAL’s faith in him developing an unproven technology that has helped LipIt to arrive at where it’s at today. “The CapMouse project presented something which was very different to the vast majority of projects. It’s a revolutionary concept that utilises muscles that most people barely even use. Reaching the stage of having a second-generation prototype that has been thoroughly tested would have been nigh on impossible without AAL funding.”

• Ready for production

“The technology is stable, no Bluetooth or software bugs. Android and Windows PC applications are available and the prototype is ready for production as a standalone device and in combination with augmented reality technologies. It took us almost 10 years to take the project from my idea to a working prototype, and we can now declare that our technology is ready for industrialisation.”
