…and hand brace that was originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Harvard Medical School. The device “works by reading the faint nerve signals (myoelectric signals) from the surface of the skin (fully non-invasive, with no implants) then activating small motors to move the limb as the user intends (no electrical stimulation),” according to the company’s website. “We’re a smaller company,” said Gudonis. “We really wanted a local partner that could bring manufacturing and distribution expertise plus capital to set up operations.” He added, “They bring knowledge of the equivalent of the FDA regulatory process, and they already…

…recently partnered with MassRobotics to help robotics startups in Massachusetts. Aura compensates for eccentricity Aura solves the largest source of angular error, eccentricity, which is caused by off-center scale mounting and bearing runout, claimed Celera Motion. Robotics developers often use two encoders to compensate for the error, increasing cost and power consumption. Aura has a built-in compensation algorithm, thereby eliminating the need for the second encoder, it said. The Aura line extension enables a wider range of customizable scale sizes, along with standard glass offerings ranging from 18 to 63.5 mm (0.7 to 2.5 in.) rotary outer diameter (OD) and…
