Challenges

Triple Ring Technologies was tasked with designing, integrating, testing, and delivering an innovative high-speed laser-based intra-operative biochemical imaging platform. The system leveraged picosecond pulsing laser technology for intra-operative tissue analysis. A user-centric design and workflow facilitated by machine learning successfully enabled real-time clinical decision making in the surgery suite.

Outcomes

Through Triple Ring’s proven product design and development process, Blacklight Surgical’s breakthrough imaging platform was built and delivered to support critical clinical studies. The system was designed to ISO13485 standards and fully documented within a Quality Management System (QMS) established by Triple Ring and transferred to Black Light Surgical.

Challenge

Triple Ring technologies was engaged by Mayfield Robotics to design a safe, effective, rugged, and low-cost optical guidance system for home companion robot, called Kuri. Kuri’s optical system needed to perform multiple functions to navigate and interact with her environment, including hazard detection and simultaneous localization and mapping. The integrated guidance optics also needed to be eye-safe for both humans and pets. Triple Ring’s design featured complex optical components, such as a pulsed vertical cavity surface emitting laser array, a panoramic annular lens, and a time-of-flight imaging sensor array.

Outcomes

Triple Ring designed an optical system that exceeded the cost and performance requirements set by the client, most importantly, certification for eye-safety and compliance with UL 3300. Delivering such technology allowed the client, Mayfield Robotics, to successfully launch Kuri as a commercial product and deliver hundreds of units to eager customers. The unique design of Triple Ring’s optical system resulted in 5 pending patents and Kuri being named Best in Show at CES 2017 by PC Magazine, WIRED, and Engadget.

Triple Ring Value Proposition

• Generation of fundamental Intellectual Property translatable to industrial autonomous robotics
• Extensive experience designing exotic and novel optical systems
• System and subsystem level design and integration
• Adherence to aggressive launch schedule to satisfy holiday orders and CES presentation
