…with UCHealth, a not-for-profit health care system headquartered in Aurora, Colo. This will allow Assistive Technology Development to present preliminary results. The study will assess the early clinical efficacy and collect patient and clinician feedback. ATDev said it has reduced its actuation unit by 70% from a large, wall-powered, benchtop system to a wearable, battery-powered system that will enable it to complete the pilot. In addition, the company is in the process of raising capital and has begun diligence with two firms. Kinarm uses robotic arms to provide an objective assessment method to identify, measure, and track cognitive motor or…

…with respected aerospace partners at Embraer, Bell Helicopter, Pipistrel, Aurora Flight Sciences and Mooney Aviation to construct the vehicles. Modern cars may be dangerous, but a dead battery or a broken rotor blade in a flying taxi would cause a heavy vehicle to fall onto a densely populated area. And we still don’t know whether such drones could be protected from hackers, terrorists, or other criminals, or how air traffic control systems might guide people safely. Drones will still have a transformative impact on how future populations live, do business, and interact. Small UAVs have already proven their potential across…

…to execute at low speed is really important. Waymo, Aurora, and Tesla are working hard, but safe operations with 20,000 lb. moving at 70 mph are much more difficult than the 10 to 15 mph average in cities, which have congestion and have been lowering speed limits for safety. This also changes consumer ideas about owning a car versus ride sharing. Speaking of ride sharing, what's the difference between autonomous shuttles and robotaxis? Harrington: We're finding the right balance between cost and convenience. There are differences in vehicle miles traveled, congestion, and emissions. Many passengers don't have the financial ability…

…outbreak began, Venture Beat reported, “Waymo, Uber, GM’s Cruise, Aurora, Argo AI and Pony.ai are among the companies that have suspended driverless vehicle programs in the hopes of limiting contact between drivers and riders” (“Coronavirus fears halt autonomous vehicle testing”). In theory, the significantly lighter traffic during the shutdown seems to offer an opportunity to ramp up road testing, but in practice, the 6-feet-apart social-distancing requirements make it difficult to run tests even with the smallest possible team—two people. “Near-empty roads create an abnormal condition,” notes Sovani. “This is not ideal for testing, because you don’t want to train an…
