…at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University. Verve is now looking toward commercializing the product. “Our system is technically composed of textiles and has a small motor for power that is similar to motors used in consumer robot applications. The system acts like an external muscle that applies force to your biological muscles and has integrated sensors to adjust to your movements.” Why choose soft? “We looked at how muscles were working and then joints,” Galiana says. “When moving joints, it felt like probably there would be restrictions to movement unless you had a pretty complicated…

…kit supplies. BIDMC, an academic medical center affiliated with Harvard Medical School, selected Origin's 3D-printed test swab to be part of a clinical trial to evaluate it for efficacy and safety. Origin's 3D-printed swab passed a rigorous initial clinical evaluation for human factors, materials testing, and PCR compatibility, and we expect that full results of the clinical trial will be published shortly. “The nation's need for rapid and widespread testing for COVID-19 has been hampered by a widespread shortage of the swabs needed for testing,” says Ramy Arnaout, MD, DPhil, associate director of the Clinical Microbiology Laboratories at BIDMC, who…

…Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus at Harvard University The National Bureau of Economic Research found that manufacturing industries use 80 percent of the industrial robots in the US. And more upheaval could be on the way, making those recent solid manufacturing numbers in the jobs report look like a blip on the radar. Boston Consulting Group projects that the as robots become more affordable and easier to program, a greater number of small manufacturers will be able to more deeply integrate them into supply chains. The shift, according to a published report from MIT Economist David Autor,…
