MotorSkins

Thank you to Pilotfish for the invitation to join this fantastic event! Facundo Gutierrez had the opportunity to present MotorSkins' technology and join engaging discussions with Taiwan Textile Research Institute (TTRI) and AiQ Smart Clothing. Some exciting possibilities are on the horizon! We are happy to be part of this community, shaping the future smart textiles with our soft-robotic solutions. #motorskins #robotictextiles #smarttextiles #innovation

If you haven't been to see Group Lotus' newest concept car yet (powered by MotorSkins), don't worry, we have good news for you! The Theory 1 will be displayed for another two weeks at the Lotus showroom in London Mayfair, until October 13th. This is your chance! Go, visit, and make sure to check out our robotic textiles on display. It's truly worth it. 👍

According to designboom, "the concept car’s most ground-breaking feature is LOTUSWEAR™, a proprietary immersive driving system developed in collaboration with Motorskins".

Precision redefined. Our reactive textiles in the Group Lotus Theory 1 deliver real-time feedback, enhancing driver awareness and safety. Fluidic feedback makes technology intuitive—only appearing when it’s needed. 💡🔧 As WIRED puts it: "The technology is only there when you need it, and then it disappears, like buttons on demand. For example, you are driving and there is a car coming up behind you. [The seat fabric] can give you a gentle tap on the shoulder. Or you get a phone call, and the button appears for you to take the call." https://lnkd.in/eDd5WrvV #MobilityInnovation #DrivingExperience #TechInMotion

As Top Gear Publishing highlighted, the Group Lotus Theory 1 is more than just a concept—it’s a statement. At the heart of it "There’s a big head-up display, and something called ‘Lotuswear’ delivered by a company called MotorSkins."

MotorSkins’ role in Group Lotus' Theory 1 has been unique. By integrating our soft robotic fabrics and inflatable pods, we've transformed the car into a “wearable” structure that directly interacts with the driver’s body. This design extends the vehicle’s physical presence beyond its shell, creating an organic extension of the driver. Dynamically inflating pods offer real-time support, comfort, and tactile feedback. Whether for subtle steering cues or enhanced seating ergonomics, our technology synchronizes with the driver’s body movements and the vehicle’s dynamics, creating a seamless connection between man and machine. In essence, MotorSkins has contributed to creating an interior that is not static but adaptive—a robotic textile that merges digital responsiveness with natural human-centric design. This redefines the future of automotive interiors as dynamic spaces that envelop and communicate with the driver, making the experience more immersive, intuitive, and performance-driven. The vision of a car you can "wear" is now becoming a tangible reality. #LotusTheory1 #conceptcar #Theory1 #MotorSkins #softrobotics

Amazing feature by WIRED of the Group Lotus Theory 1 concept! Curious to see how we worked together? Check it out below 👇 "Despite the obvious visual drama on show, the interior’s biggest feature is not what the driver sees, but what they feel. Embedded in the fabric of the doors, steering wheel, and sculpted seats are dozens of inflatable pods, each individually controlled." "...interior surfaces physically change based on how the car is being driven and what the driver needs." At MotorSkins, we're proud to bring the future of automotive interiors to life in the Theory 1 concept. Our fluidic technology powers the reactive textiles, turning surfaces into dynamic, interactive elements. 🚗✨ https://lnkd.in/eDd5WrvV #Innovation #Design #LotusTheory1 #Theory1

Have you been to the Group Lotus Showroom in London Mayfair yet? Well, you should! It's all about the Theory 1: its inspiration in the iconic Esprit, its design philosophy that we also share (Digital, Natural, Analogue), the amazing technology that makes it up and much more! The Theory 1 isn’t just about performance—it’s about creating a deeply human connection between car and driver. MotorSkins’ contribution to the LOTUSWEAR™ system embodies this vision, merging the digital and natural worlds to create an interior that feels alive and responsive. It’s a glimpse into a future where the car’s interior is more than just a space—it’s an extension of the driver’s own body and mind, a true extended phenotype. Take a look at our first impressions of the show and make sure to stop by. Until 📅October 13th📅 you will be able to see and learn more about how our technology and that of Carbon, KEF | Kent Engineering & Foundry, NVIDIA, KYOCERA SLD Laser, Pirelli, AP Racing have made the Theory 1 so special. It's not just a concept car, it's a design manifesto! #Theory1 #LotusTheory1 #MotorSkins #softrobotics

The BBC's Top Gear Publishing was also curious about MotorSkins' role within the Theory 1! Watch Mat Hill, Head of Interior Design at Group Lotus skillfully explain what it's all about. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e84xrP44 #LotusTheory1 #SoftRobotics #Theory1

It's finally here. We did it. Imagine stepping into the Group Lotus Theory 1—this isn't just any concept car. The moment you touch the wheel, it feels like the car is alive, connecting with you in a way you’ve never experienced. That’s the power of LOTUSWEAR™, an intuitive driver system designed to make every ride personal, immersive, and, above all, thrilling. What’s even more exciting? It’s driven by MotorSkins’ cutting-edge technology, finally making its public debut in the automotive world! MotorSkins has been behind the scenes in the industry before, but this is the first time our adaptive, soft robotic textiles are being showcased in a car, and we couldn’t have asked for a better stage. In the Theory 1, we embedded inflatable pods into the seats and steering wheel to create real-time responses with our adaptive material. You don’t just drive—you feel the road, the speed, the turns. Imagine gentle pulses on the steering wheel guiding you into a turn or subtle shifts in your seat that align with the driving mode you’ve chosen—whether it’s Range, Sport, or Track. That's the power of our fluidic Human Machine Interface. It’s the perfect blend of comfort, control, and excitement. MotorSkins is redefining how we interact with cars, turning every drive into an experience where you’re more connected to the vehicle than ever before. #Theory1 #Lotus #robotictextiles #softrobotics #MotorSkins #conceptcar #lotustheory1
