QUAN: Robotic Limbs Could Soon Improve the Lives of Wounded Veterans
These robotic prostheses can sense their environment and predict a user's intentions
HOUSTON--With advanced new robotic limbs poised to dramatically improve the lives of wounded veterans and other amputees, Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB:QUAN) is exploring new opportunities to deliver bionic solutions to a growing market of patients ready to reclaim their independence.
New innovations have made cutting-edge bionic limbs featuring machine intelligence possible for the first time. These robotic prostheses can sense their environment and predict a user's intentions. Complex algorithms allow the devices to more closely mimic the behavior of natural limbs, even allowing users to control bionic arms and legs with their brains.
"The new bionic limbs that are appearing on the market represent the future of robotic," said QUAN CEO Robert Federowicz. "These devices actually combine a number of robots into a single arm or leg that all work in concert with one another to produce the most functional prostheses ever. Continuing breakthroughs are making this sector very attractive from a growth perspective."
Quantum International is currently investigating ways to capitalize on the demand for the new robotics technologies that are making advanced bionics possible. In addition to limb replacement, these innovations hold a great deal of promise for enhancing the abilities of the able-bodied, as well.
The company plans to announce its initial business targets in the red-hot robotics space soon. For more information on Quantum International's robotics initiatives, please visit http://www.quantuminternationalcorp.com/investors.html.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
