AuraFlex™ is the world’s first commercially viable light-activated photonic muscle — introducing an entirely new actuation architecture for mechanical systems and robotics. Consisting only of two main component layers; a Light-emitting Layer and a Light-active Muscle Layer, AuraFlex offers a motion architecture that is simpler, slimmer, lighter and quieter than that of traditional pneumatic, and electric motor counterparts, enabling mechanical systems to pack more functionality without adding complexity and bulk.
