…by Younes Chahid from BiomimeticAM with the Hip Implant Stem Design, from the University of Huddersfield (UK). With this redesign of the hip implant stem, issues with implant revision surgeries and bone resorption could be greatly improved. The new design of the hip implant stem has many such features including density and thickness distribution optimization to reduce the stress shielding and increase osseointegration. The team SCUT Robotlab from South China University of Technology (China) improved the stabilizer mount on the robot for the RoboMaster competition, a key component which connects the mobile system with the upper projectile system. The original…

…academic programs. In the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) world, there is no shortage of well-regarded institutions, but some are better equipped for certain subjects than others. In robotics, students are looking for schools that will give them access to state-of-the-art facilities where they can get their hands on some automated systems. They are also looking for courses that will challenge them and give them the knowledge they need to enter the industry well-informed. “In 2020-2021, robotics engineering was the 230th most popular major nationwide with 1,243 degrees awarded. This is a difference of 168 over the prior year,…

…President Maria Klawe is speaking on boosting diversity in STEM education at the upcoming CAASE20 virtual conference, coproduced by DE.) “It's important for us to provide laboratory experiences because they are a formative part of engineering education,” said Spencer. “It's much harder when the students don't have access to the hardware we usually use to do it. For this lockdown, Spencer's remedy for the robotic class was a portable Arduino kit students can take home. “It has a very short learning curve, and the connections on the board are already connected, so the students don't have to solder anything, which…
