A modular, adaptive, high-performance neuro-mechanical system designed to replace the entire 33-vertebrae spinal column.
Our Graphene-CNT composite framework is not only orders of magnitude stronger but is engineered for superior bio-integration, solving the 'stress shielding' problem that plagues traditional implants.
Traditional titanium implants face a critical dilemma: the significant mismatch in mechanical stiffness—where a titanium alloy's elastic modulus (E ≈ 110 GPa) is far higher than cortical bone's (E ≈ 10-30 GPa)—causes the implant to carry a disproportionate share of the load. This shielding of the bone from mechanical stimuli leads to stress-induced osteopenia (bone loss) and eventual implant failure. Our Graphene-CNT composite framework eliminates this problem entirely.
The Ankylotron spine generates power from its core. A hybrid system of high-torque density micro-actuators and bio-hybrid artificial muscle fibers provides a revolutionary combination: the raw, superhuman strength of a machine with the fluid, graceful motion of biology.
Ankylotron is designed to last over 150 years. Every micro-component, from the AI chips to the neural sensors, is protected by a state-of-the-art Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) hermetic seal. This 100nm-thin nanolaminate stack of alternating hafnium oxide (HfO₂) and silicon dioxide (SiO₂) layers provides an impermeable, pinhole-free shield against the body's corrosive environment. Validated in accelerated aging tests, this technology ensures lifelong reliability.
We replace the biological spinal cord's electrochemical 'dial-up' with a 1-Tbps optical fiber data bus. This 'neurological superhighway' creates a high-fidelity, bidirectional link with your peripheral nervous system at all 31 nerve root pairs.
The Ankylotron platform is an extension of your mind. A powerful onboard computational core functions as a cognitive co-processor, offloading autonomic functions and motor tasks, freeing your biological mind for higher-order thought. It is the foundation for a true 'Extended Self.'
The Ankylotron DNI turns your nervous system into a universal I/O port. Control external systems, from robotic avatars to complex digital environments, with the speed of thought. This enables high-fidelity telepresence and seamless human-machine teaming.
The Ankylotron platform can translate non-human sensory data into novel perceptions. Our system can pipe data from external sensors—like infrared or sonar—and translate it into intuitive neural signals. You will not just see in the dark; you will feel it.
