Naqi Logix and Kinova Robotics Partner to Advance Neural-Controlled Robotics

Naqi and Kinova join forces to redefine the future of accessible robotics through non-invasive neural technology.

We are excited to announce that Naqi Logix has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Kinova Robotics, a leading robotic arm manufacturer, to explore the integration of Naqi’s neural interface technology with Kinova’s advanced Jaco robotic arm platform.

This collaboration marks a major step toward creating more natural, intuitive, and accessible ways for people to interact with robotic systems.

Why This Matters

The Future of Robotic Control: By combining Naqi’s earbud-based neural interface with Kinova’s robotic technology, the partnership aims to enable hands-free control of assistive robotics through human intent.

Breaking Traditional Barriers: Naqi’s non-invasive neural technology offers a new alternative to traditional controllers, allowing users to interact with machines without relying on joysticks, external hardware, or complex interfaces.

Advancing Accessibility: The collaboration has the potential to expand independence for users who face challenges with conventional robotic controls.

“This collaboration represents a critical step toward realizing a more natural and intuitive form of robotic control. Kinova is an industry leader in human-centric robotics, and we’re thrilled to work together to validate how our neural earbud technology can enable seamless interaction with machines.”

— Mark Godsy, CEO, Naqi Logix

Building the Next Generation of Human-Robot Interaction

The partnership will focus on integrating Naqi’s neural platform into Kinova’s Jaco robotic arm systems, evaluating:

• Neural-based robotic control performance

• Real-world usability

• Responsiveness compared to traditional inputs

• Future applications across assistive technology and robotics

“At Kinova, we’re always exploring technologies that can make robotics more accessible, responsive, and empowering.”
