A research programme on robotic devices and interconnection systems applied to health and wellbeing.
The TRL scale
We do not use clinical trial phase nomenclature, which would be inappropriate for devices, software and cosmetic products. The TRL 1–9 scale describes technological maturity, from a basic principle observed to a system proven in a real operational environment.
- TRL 10–11%
- TRL 212–22%
- TRL 323–33%
- TRL 434–44%
- TRL 545–55%
- TRL 656–66%
- TRL 767–77%
- TRL 878–88%
- TRL 989–100%
- The TRL 1–9 scale measures the technological maturity of a programme: the percentage marks its position along that scale, not its distance from market entry. Programme status updated August 2026.
The programme. Research on robotic devices and interconnection systems applied to health and wellbeing.
The programme is at an early stage and its intellectual property position is not yet protected. Consistent with what the Mission page states, we do not publish details of architecture, mechanism or specific application before the patent application is filed.
State of progress.
Preparation of the patent application — in preparation, 30%
Enhancement — under way, 25%
Interconnection chip — under way, 10%
Prototyping — started, 5%
Next milestone. Filing of the patent application. This entry will be extended with the technical description of the programme immediately after filing.
Intellectual property. Patent application in preparation. No filing made as at the update date of this page.
