…their underlying muscles. “The real-world impact of this technology stems from the exosuit's dual function: it not only protects workers from injuries by supporting their bodies during ergonomically risky lifts but also lessens the effort needed for all lifts, including those considered ‘safe,’” said Christopher Buck, head of product at Verve Motion. Verve Motion said its SafeLift exosuits have aided U.S. workers in lifting more than 300 million pounds since the wearable technology debuted in 2020. SafeLift exosuits have been deployed in a wide range of industries, including grocery, package distribution, third party logistics (3PL), retail, supply chain distribution, and…

…communities, and Google, demonstrates a shared commitment to foster STEM-related learning and workforce development among Native American and Indigenous students. The 4th annual Southwest Native American Showcase will have more than 250 students competing for several days. These students represent diverse tribes from Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Amazon's generous support is instrumental in enabling these teams and their coaches to attend this event at no cost. Without this partnership, many of these tribes might miss the chance to participate in such an enriching experience. “We are excited to join forces with Amazon with additional support from Indigitize and Google…

…networking and educational opportunities. Source: CAM Mash-Up includes student activities This year's Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up activities included an “on-deck” STEM Challenge. It brought together 300 students from Innovation Pathways, a workforce development program that connects students with career opportunities in high-demand industries. There was also a “speed networking” session for diverse community college students participating in the state’s MassBridge training program. They spoke with company representatives and saw exhibits of additive manufacturing, robotics, and photonics projects that promise to reshape multiple industries, from healthcare and defense to transportation.

…and build really cool things for both commercial and STEM [science, technology, engineering, and mathematics] educational customers.” AMD said the KD240 supports Matlab Simulink, Ubuntu, and ROS 2. Source: Advanced Micro Devices Scalable SOMs offer accessibility Kria SOMs allow developers to skip the substantial design efforts around the selected silicon device and instead focus on providing differentiated, value-added features, said AMD. Connector compatibility enables easy migration between the K24 and K26 SOM without changing boards, said AMD. This allows system architects to balance power, performance, size, and cost for energy-efficient systems, it said. “The K24 complements the K26,” said Khona.…
