Our Technology

Innovating robotics with electrically responsive liquid crystalline elastomers.

We've developed the proof-of-concept technology for electrically responsive LCE artificial muscles. Now we need to keep pushing the needle to bring this technology out of the lab and into real-world applications.

We have the methods and knowledge to produce these artificial muscles using scalable and continous methods.

Now we are seeking funding and collaboration so that we can use our technology to revolutionise robotics!

Who We Are

Poly-motion is an early-stage startup founded and led by Dr. Joshua Ince.

Joshua researched LCEs during his PhD, and after researching these smart materials for over half a decade, Joshua founded Poly-motion to bring these materials out of the lab, into the real world.
