Robotics and Prostheses: Otherlab has been applying it's expertise in computational design tools, simulation, inflatable structures, and math, to making highly capable, very low cost robotics. We are also developing applications in medical devices,safety equipment,prosthesis,and human-augmentation.

Novel Actuators: Otherlab is developing novel actuators for applications in automation, robotics, and renewable energy. These fluidic muscles offer pathways to much lower cost, much higher degree of freedom mechanisms.

Solar Energy: No Doubt about it,we need cheaper solar energy. Otherlab is investigating significant resources in a novel method of harvesting sunlight at a radically lower cost.

Education: We believe in hands-on education,and teaching science and engineering through project based learning. Howtoons is a project bringing hands-on education to kids through the beautifully drawn illustrations of Nick and Ingrid Dragotta.

Electric Vehicles: Onya Cycles was developed by Saul Griffith at OtherLab to solve his commuting and urban transport challenges. Our bikes are being rigorously tested by his son Huxley, 17 months old. We are not in mass production just yet, but we'll be ramping up production soon.

Novel Structures and Inflatables:

Computational Manufacturing and Design Tools We write our own designs at Otherlab.

Energy (Systems Simulations): We are working on energy systems simulations that enable a more honest and detailed look at energy consumption individually, locally, nationally, and internationally.
