About Me

Joseph Curcio has over twenty years of engineering and consulting experience working in the electro-mechanical engineering and robotics field. He received two Master's degrees in Engineering and Systems Management from MIT while working on the design and development of unmanned marine vehicles used by the US Navy. Presently, as CEO of Kinaptic, Joseph is involved in the development of a novel wearable technology that is poised to revolutionize how humans and intelligent machines interact. This new Haptic/Human Machine Interface (HHMI) technology leverages the naturally occurring electrical signals of the human body to allow bi-directional, high resolution detection and activation of neuromuscular actuation. This technology has been tested and demonstrated in an array of applications including medical/rehabilitation, neural learning, pain mitigation, VR/AR gaming, immersive training, sports performance, drone control and more. Prior to joining Kinaptic, Mr. Curcio launched a startup company focused on marine autonomy. He also led a team in the development of a novel SWATH (Small Water-plane Area Twin Hull) vessel and patented a revolutionary and economical method for reducing drag on ship hulls. Additional experience includes the design and development of process automation tools at IBM, development of mobile patient monitoring and telemetry systems, creation of test and measurement components for orthopedic rehabilitation and the development of other specialized electro-mechanical systems. Mr. Curcio spent several years pursuing his passion working aboard world class sailing vessels, including Endeavour (JK4), Shamrock V (JK3), Hyperion, Rebecca and others. Mr. Curcio is an active member of AUVSI, ASNE and SNAME with particular interest in shaping the implementation of COLREGS compliant marine autonomy for Unmanned Systems. Mr. Curcio presently lives in Maine with his wife and two sons where they enjoy time skiing, sailing, biking and adventuring together
