Symphony Robotics’ patent-pending technology combines micro-robotic arms, real-time computer vision, and AI. | Source: Symphony Robotics Symphony Robotics announced Tuesday that it licensed micro-robotic arm technology from Case Western Reserve University (CWRU). Cleveland-based Symphony Robotics licensed CWRU’s novel, MRI-guided, magnetically actuated robotic platform. The technology navigates non-linear trajectories, enabling precise, micro-invasive surgeries with real-time guidance. The company plans to advance the technology that combines micro-robotic arms, real-time computer vision, and state-of-the-art AI. Its initial focus

Vention’s Rapid Sanding Solution comes standard with a FANUC cobot arm and is optimized for use with 3M Abrasive Solutions. | Source: Vention Vention launched its first turnkey robot for sanding. The company said it developed the product due to growing demand for robot workcells for sanding applications, especially in cabinet making. Vention’s Rapid Sanding Solution (RSS) comes standard with a FANUC CRX-30iA. This is a collaborative robot (cobot) with advanced safety features for working

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough strength to contract. These multiple muscle tissue actuators (MuMuTAs), created by the researchers, are a major development towards building larger biohybrid limbs. While currently limited to the lab environment,
