We are proud to announce that BIOX has finalized an exclusive AAU License Agreement with Aalborg University. This signing marks the official transition of the Human Intention Detection (HID) sensor technology from a specialized academic research project into a commercialized solution for the global market.
A Foundation Built on the AAU License Agreement
The AAU License Agreement gives BIOX the unique rights to continue the development and commercialization of the Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) technology originally invented at the AAU robotics laboratories. For our team, this agreement is more than just a legal contract; it is a vote of confidence in the future of wearable robotics and human-machine interaction.
By securing the AAU License Agreement, we have ensured that the intellectual property behind our “BioX Armband” is protected and ready for industrial scaling. This partnership allows us to bridge the gap between high-level engineering research and practical, real-world applications in medical rehabilitation and industrial control systems.
Why the AAU License Agreement Matters for Our Partners
For our investors and technical partners, the AAU License Agreement provides the stability and legal framework required to bring medical-grade technology to market. The HID sensor—which detects muscle intent before a movement even occurs—is at the core of our current product lineup. Through the AAU License Agreement, we are empowered to:
Accelerate R&D: Deepen our collaboration with the experts at Aalborg University.
Protect Innovation: Secure the exclusive patents and methods used in our FMG sensing.
Scale Globally: Move from local prototypes to international industrial standards.
The Future of BioX and Aalborg University
The North Denmark Region is a hub for robotic innovation, and our AAU License Agreement reinforces our commitment to the Aalborg tech cluster at NOVI Science Park. We believe that by staying close to our roots at AAU, we can continue to attract the best engineering talent while pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field of wearable sensors.
This AAU License Agreement is just the beginning of a long-term relationship. We look forward to many more years of innovation, research, and commercial success alongside our partners at Aalborg University (AAU).
Technical Specs of the HID Sensor
Under the AAU License Agreement, BioX will refine the low-latency capabilities of the HID sensor. Our goal is to provide a seamless interface that interprets human gestures with zero perceptible lag, a feature that was critical to the initial research conducted at the AAU labs.
Integrating FSR Technology via the AAU License Agreement
The core of the AAU License Agreement focuses on the sophisticated use of Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) arrays. Unlike traditional surface Electromyography (sEMG) which measures electrical activity, the technology licensed through the AAU License Agreement measures the physical expansion of muscle bellies. This provides a much more stable signal for long-term wearable use, especially in prosthetics and industrial exoskeletons where sweat and skin impedance usually interfere with sensors.
By formalizing the AAU License Agreement, BioX has committed to miniaturizing these sensors for our upcoming consumer and developer kits. Our engineering team in Aalborg is currently working on the next generation of signal processing algorithms that will further enhance the data captured by this licensed technology.
Looking ahead, the AAU License Agreement allows us to explore multi-modal sensing—combining FMG with IMU data to create the most comprehensive movement-tracking system on the market. We are excited to continue this journey of innovation, supported by the intellectual property secured through our partnership with Aalborg University.
