Yes, I believe that Auris will partner with Verb and incorporate their operating system/software/data collection and analysis.
Huge b/c IREP is a technology off of what the platform is built on. If they hold the Technology patent then any company that wants to use IREP will have to license it from Titan - having licensed technology on top of a surgical robotic platform will be significant.

Job posting for robotics position at APPLE, sounds a lot like what VERB's engineers are hired to do. Would not surprise me at all to see APPLE get into Healthcare like Google did and will probably do it sooner rather than later.
Next-Generation Sensor Algorithm Engineer
Share to social media

Apple
Santa Clara Valley - California -US
Be part of the engineering team creating next-generation input devices and sensors. The Human Interface Devices team is looking for an Algorithms Engineer with working knowledge of statistical signal processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning along with strong programming skills.
Key Qualifications
4+ years of experience in algorithm development for sensor signal processing and pattern recognition systems
Exceptional expertise with C/C++
Experience with sensing hardware (preferred)
Experience with adaptive filters, computer vision or robotics (preferred)
Description
This is a key position that is a focal point for HW/SW integration. This engineer will be responsible for developing and tuning algorithms for processing signals from next-generation sensors, and optimizing performance across a large user base via analysis or automated learning. These are key development efforts that feed into future products.
Additional responsibilities include:
- Data collection and analysis
- Investigating new technologies, prototyping concepts, evaluating user impact, and delivering products
its also interesting the reference to haptic and force feedback in the patent. Looks like SPORT will include haptic feedback along with advanced visualization
Titan has to get "generation one" completed and design freeze. That takes the stock north of $1 - IMO, by March 2017
Another job posting by Verb, plus they are looking for a regulatory person, same position Titan is supposedly hiring for. Looks like SPORT regulatory process will be turned over to the JnJ or Verb person.

Applied Research Principal Mechatronics Engineer
“Next generation technologies” is the best way to describe this role. There comes a time in a commercial endeavor when you have to draw a line in order to get “Gen 1” to the market. Yet, there are so many other possibilities and technologies that still need to be pursued and developed further for the “Next Gen” of the system.
This leadership role will be responsible for the design of next generation surgical robotic system and components. This individual will brainstorm, iterate on design options, take input from groups across the company, present and evaluate multiple design options, and supervise execution of detailed designs from conception through prototyping, integration and testing. This is a very collaborative opportunity where individuals will partner with systems engineering, clinical engineering, clinicians, etc. with a focus on optimizing design, evaluating design, and defining product requirements.
Required Experiences And Skills
MS in Mechanical Engineering or related fields
7-10 years of technical experience
Robotics related experience
Mechatronics background
Mechanical design experience
Experience with modelling software
Experience managing small groups of engineers

Its in the patents: Titan, JnJ, Verb
I wonder if they are still going to incorporate Platform Imaging into SPORT.
Can't imagine Randall being here much longer. Wouldn't surprise me if Titan announces his resignation within the month.
Yes, it was rockotaco
This was his post just a couple of days before he sells all but 450 shares:

This was 17 days ago:

This was about 3 weeks ago:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=125487275
He's a big time pumper
Mark Cuban?
Wouldn't be surprised to see SV Lifescience take a position in Titan by providing financing.
This stock is going to start running and it's going to go fast. Per Gary pruden, they will have their prototype ready in December.
Spot on
Agree, imo fowler was asked to leave, he kept wanting to tweak the system and it caused delays and a ton of downstream work (i.e. Foot pedals) - not to mention money. This machine is done, notice Barko comments on PR.
Yes and I believe JNJ will be entering the picture soon
that's why he is giving a talk on how to navigate the FDA
They are going to get bought out at Design Freeze - they aren't going to commercialization - again no indications of that and no infrastructure to support it.
Have to wait 30 days to buy back in or ur screwed (simple terms)
Wasn't trxc at $14/share about a year or so ago?
Get ready for the offering announcement within 2-3 days
people are on to Randall and the fact he isn't a straight shooter - could be an announcement Monday of anther offering
I thought someone said Randall had spoken to someone named Dean Gil Barry. I'm confused b/c it was said that Randall said if an investor wanted to sell that he wouldn't tell him no and now Randall is telling people that good things are coming. I think Randall has to go, guy doesn't seem to know what is going on.
I agree, I think they are going to announce another offering to raise more money.
it's pretty common knowledge to all of those following Titan that Ximedica is going to resume operations - that is not some breaking news, what would be breaking if you said that Ximedica will not continue and Titan is shutting down (and THEN IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! - which doesn't happen with you).
Don't act like you knew this before anyone else. If you did you wouldn't have sold all your shares last week and would have pressed Randall on it during your "phone call" with him.
I am not sure Bet Kids Tuition believes what your selling - just a guess since you shook his shares loose.
Did the patient survive?
Really, you are going to take a big "Wash Sale" on your buy back? Seems to be an amateurish move or.....
They could be moving up the timeline for design freeze.
whats an OR? also, opinions are like A..holes, everyone's got one. I'm willing to bet you don't stop posting on this board like you said you would. 3...2...1...
I heard it takes 4 1/2 years to sell a $2m POS
That's been on the market for 4 years with haptic feedback and they have given away, sorry "sold" one unit.
Can't wait, I will pick up million shares!
just seems your uninformed
