Foundry workers given ‘robotic’ glove to improve grip and protect hands

October 28, 2022 by Mark Allinson Leave a Comment

Waupaca Foundry is using an innovative adaptive technology to support workers who manually grind iron castings in the foundry. The “Ironhand” glove is claimed to be the world’s first soft exoskeleton designed for the human hand to improve grip strength and reduce effort.

The system was tested at the iron casting supplier’s Etowah, Tennessee casting finishing plant and is currently in trials at the Marinette, Wisconsin ductile iron foundry.

The system consists of a glove covering all five fingers, and a power pack worn in a backpack or hip-carry. It is activated when the operator starts moving his/her hand to perform a task, using sensors located on the palm and on the fingers.

To begin trading online today, all you need to do is join up with a reputable broker who provides you with access to a trading platform.

February 1, 2021 by Polly Leave a Comment

The Internet of Things (IoT) benefits so much to your home amenities.

Utilizing smart devices that are linked to the internet, you can get your coffee ready for when you wake up or prepare your oven to warm your dinner up for when you arrive home. But remember that each connected IoT device is also a data collector.

Scientists will use newly discovered ‘cyborg material’ to invade our brains, merge with our thoughts and turn us all into mindless zombie robots, says report

August 18, 2020 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

Scientists will use newly discovered “cyborg material” to invade our brains, merge with our thoughts and turn us all into mindless zombie robots, according to a report on The Daily Star website.

The sinister “bio-synthetic material” that could end humanity as we know it was presented recently at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 virtual expo.

Experts claim it will pave the way to integrating electronics with the body to create “cyborg” beings, reports The Star, which adds that the new breakthrough material will enable human brains to merge with artificial intelligence.

Commercial cleaning robots using Brain OS log 2 million hours of autonomous operation

July 23, 2020 by Sam Francis Leave a Comment

Commercial cleaning robots which run Brain Corp’s operating system have racked up 2 million hours of autonomous operation.

The milestone was achieved earlier this month due in part to a recent surge in activity by retailers who are maximizing their use of Brain OS-powered cleaning robots in the wake of the Covid-19 health crisis.

Russians demonstrate robocop for security work

October 24, 2019 by Sam Francis

It’s probably not the best time for the Russians to be unveiling a “robocop”, what with all the paranoia about Russians meddling in previous US elections and influencing candidates for future ones, but that is what a Perm-based company called PromoBot has done, according to Daily Star. 

The authoritative news outlet, which mainly features pictures if buxom women on its home page, says the new Russian robotic cop will be used for fingerprinting and background checks.

However, since it’s a humanoid robot, it’s flexible enough to be reconfigured for a variety of uses, including carrying firearms. [Read more…] about Russians demonstrate robocop for security work
