Background

About Jack Schorsch

I am a passionate believer in the ability to solve serious problems through technology. A engineering specialist with 17 years of experience in developing new and non-traditional solutions to real problems. My career has evolved to look at human machine interaction, dedicated mechanical & electrical systems, and medical device compliance. I believe in a systems approach to solving problems - technically amazing hardware without fundamental understanding of the real root of the problem is no solution, and without technical expertise, even the most brilliant ideas will fall short. I am currently on a leave of absence from a PhD at the Delft University of Technology, while growing my spin-off company, Innovative Mechatronic Systems to continue developing the revolutionary Archimedes Drive. Our goal is nothing less than to completely overturn the current gearbox world. Before I joined the team at Delft, I worked as project lead on one of the most promising human-machine interfaces, the IMES implantable myoeletric sensor as part of the DARPA Revolutionzing Prosthetics project. We developed a completely wireless injectable microimplant capable of simultaneously controlling up to 8 degrees of freedom in advanced cybernetic limb systems. Specialties: Human-Robot interaction, electromechanical product design and engineering, actuator design, medical implant design, and regulatory compliance.
