North Dakota Farm to Robotic Arm
As a child, Jack spent time fixing defunct agricultural equipment (fun) and lugging hay bales (less so). It was the latter that made him see how automation might be a force for good and Jack was inspired to enter the field of bionics and advanced prosthetics.
The speed reducer problem
Jack’s quest to create mechanisms to boost human strength was thwarted by one problem: actuators, also known as speed reducers. These critical components have been driving countless innovations for centuries. But developments in gear technology have stagnated and even the best custom actuators fail to match the power-to-volume ratio of the human body.
Our mission
Today based in robotics incubator, Robovalley, the growing team is gearing up for the manufacture of Archimedes Drive. This revolutionary new technology which will be crucial for high precision next generation robots, as well as many more mechatronic applications.
Jack Schorsch invented the Archimedes Drive during his PhD at the Delft University of Technology
Jack Schorsch followed the startup incubation course at YES!Delft and did met his co-founders.
Jack Schorsch and his three co-founders found IMSystems.
First pilot project officially starts with a US tech giant.
First funding by angel investors
Pilot project: Transmission for offshore wind turbine
Pilot projects containing the design of a prosthetic elbow and an E-bike
Archimedes Drive reached 10 million input cycles, which has never been achieved so far with a compound planetary traction drive.
€ 300,000 UNIIQ investment.
Pilot project with industrial robot giant started.
€ 600,000,- Lucros and Innovation Quarter investment.
Pilot project with second robotic tech giant started
Projects with two robotic tech giants.
