…the input nodes, he said. BeBop seeks levels of precision, reliability McMillen came into haptic sensing through music. “We started working with musical instruments and fabric sensors 14 years ago,” he said. “I wanted to make a sensor violin bow for the Kronus Quartet, and it needed a cylindrical grip so musicians could tell what they're doing.” “Four years later, it was stabilized with 80 dB of dynamic range, and resolution to smaller than 2 mm pitch just became a choice,” explained McMillen. “The fabric will fit any geometry. Our circuitry design is quite flexible, allowing BeBop to make it…

…use the eT-Litocran700 as an add-on module for the precision vacuum lifters used in its products. The companies plan to jointly exhibit at the triennial Bauma trade fair for construction machinery from Oct. 24 to 30, 2022, in Munich, Germany. At the end of June, Thomas Schulz, managing director of euroTECH, traveled to Castelfranco Emilia in Italy to seal the deal with Magni Telescopic Handlers (MTH). He and Carlo Magni, managing director of MTH, said they have a similar philosophy about understanding and addressing customer needs. Rosenfeld, Germany-based euroTECH offers handling and transport systems in the field of vacuum technology.…

…National Science Foundation in 2021. Dextrous Robotics designs for precision The job of loading and unloading trucks is one of the most challenging to fill in the logistics industry, according to Dextrous Robotics. Trailers can reach extreme temperatures depending on the season, and heavy packages stacked up to 9 ft. high regularly fall on workers. In addition, the repetitive and non-ergonomic lifting of items can put strain even on healthy people, said the Memphis, Tenn.-based company. Dextrous Robotics was inspired by chopsticks and pool cues, but it had to master the physics as its scaled up, said Drumwright. Humans don't…

…contains about 200 to 300 welds and requires the precision and time of a skilled welder to be built. While the Billerica, Mass.-based company has six or seven welders on staff, it needed more workers to keep up with demand. The labor shortage, however, has made it hard to find employees. Trapotsis was one of the dozens of manufacturing executives who took part in the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative’s Manufacturing Mash-Up on Friday at the Polar Park baseball stadium in Worcester. He was invited to speak because he took advantage of a $20,000 grant from the state’s Manufacturing Emergency Response Team…

Mistakes could lead to an intestinal leak that could pose adverse consequences for the patient and even jeopardize their life. Correcting a problem of the heart with robotics Laparoscopic surgery on a pig is, well, just the tip of the iceberg, it seems, regarding surgical “firsts.” At the University of California San Francisco, a robot was used during a mitral valve surgy to correct a mitral valve prolapse. The university notes this was the first time…
