Ten years of riding-simulator research, 800 000 euros of funding, one company

Ridable is the spin-off of more than a decade of riding-simulator research at LUT University's Laboratory of Intelligent Machines.

The Ridable project did not start in a pitch deck. It started in the Laboratory of Intelligent Machines at LUT University in Lappeenranta, where riding-simulator research has been running for more than ten years and has received over 800 000 euros in dedicated research funding.

From lab to company

Ridable owns all the intellectual property rights from the project, and the newest patent is in process. The team includes two doctors of robotics, the head of the laboratory, and a research-to-business expert from LAB University of Applied Sciences, alongside an equestrian entrepreneur who runs a stable of 31 real horses.

Three layers of deep tech

Proprietary motion capture and processing of real horses. Robotic replication of that motion under the rider. Sensing and machine learning that detects subtle rider aids and responds in real time. Read more about the technology.
