Robotics Enter the COVID-19 Fight

A decontamination robot funded by the Office of Naval Research and designed by several local universities was recently tested. The robot--initially designed for shipboard firefighting and maintenance tasks--has now been enlisted in the fight against Covid-19.

OSIRIS-REx Spacecraft Successfully Touches Down On Asteroid

In the dark and cold of deep space on 20th October, the Lockheed Martin-built OSIRIS-REx spacecraft descended to the surface of an asteroid and touched it with its robotic arm to collect a sample of its rocky material. Although brief, the Touch-And-Go, or TAG, event was years in the making.

Mini-Brains Help Robots Recognise Pain and Self-Repair

Using a brain-inspired approach, scientists have developed a way for robots to have the artificial intelligence to recognise pain and to self-repair when damaged.

Big Data to Speed up Development for Patients with Blood Cancers

The HARMONY Alliance launches HARMONY PLUS, a new public-private partnership to improve outcomes for patients with blood cancers.

Tyromotion

Austria-based Tyromotion has developed AMADEO, an "assist-as-needed" robotic therapy system for patients with motor impairments affecting the upper extremities.

Versius at Frimley Health to Give More Patients Keyhole Surgery

CMR Surgical Ltd announced the introduction of Versius, a next-generation surgical robot at Frimley Health. Frimley Health is a well-established surgical robotics centre and has become the first hospital in the UK to use Versius in Urology, as well as in Colorectal surgery, expanding the number of patients receiving the benefits of robotic assisted minimal access surgery.

Kinetek

Kinetek's product ALEx originated in Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, where it was developed to provide a solution for stroke upper limb rehabilitation. It is a CE certified medical device of class IIa.

Hocoma

Hocoma's ARMEO product enables arm and hand rehabilitation for patients with severe to mild levels of motor impairment in their upper limbs. It is specifically designed for arm and hand therapy in an early stage of rehabilitation. ARMEO has six actuated degrees of freedom so patients can train in an extensive 3D workspace.

Seoul National University - Soft Robotics Research Center

Researchers at Seoul National University's Soft Robotics Research Center have developed a soft upper limb mobile exoskeleton for upper limb rehabilitation.

MyoMo

Myomo has developed MyoPro, a powered orthosis (brace) that may help restore function in arms and hands paralyzed by a stroke, brachial plexus injury (BPI), cerebral palsy or other neuromuscular disease or injury.

Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers at CEA research centre in France implanted two electrodes in a tetraplegic person's brain. The patient was then able to walk and control both arms of a four limb tethered (supported from above) exoskeleton using this neuroprosthetic.

Harvesting Energy from Wind When Walking

Most of the wind available on land is too gentle to push commercial wind turbine blades, but now researchers in China have designed a kind of "tiny wind turbine" that can scavenge wind energy from breezes as little as those created by a brisk walk.

Robots to Help Children Touch the Outside World

A team of researchers is working to improve telepresence robots and the algorithms that drive them to help children with disabilities stay connected to their classmates, teachers and communities.

Manchester Hospital Uses Versius for First Robotic Keyhole Surgery

Versius is portable, modular, and designed to be easily moved between operating theatres. Once in an operating theatre, it takes an average of 15 minutes to set up the system. This allows it to be used frequently, with one Versius robot capable of performing hundreds of operations each year.

Octopus Energy Launches Partnership with Volkswagen

Octopus Energy announced a significant new partnership with Volkswagen Group. The deal encourages VW customers to reduce carbon emissions and Electric Vehicle running costs by switching their home electricity and gas supply to the UK's fastest growing green energy provider.

First Glucose Biosensor Designed for Athletes

Libre Sense Glucose Sport Biosensor is a consumer over-the-counter product that provides glucose monitoring via a mobile app o athletes performing sports such as cycling, running, and swimming, to understand the efficacy of their nutrition choices on training and competition.
