Detecting multiple sepsis biomarkers from whole blood – made fast, accurate, and cheap
Posted by Saúl Morales Rodriguéz in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, robotics/AI
The Wyss Institute’s eRapid electrochemical sensor technology now enables sensitive, specific and multiplexed detection of blood biomarkers at low cost with potential for many clinical applications.
The Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard University (http://wyss.harvard.edu) uses Nature’s design principles to develop bioinspired materials and devices that will transform medicine and create a more sustainable world. Wyss researchers are developing innovative new engineering solutions for healthcare, energy, architecture, robotics, and manufacturing that are translated into commercial products and therapies through collaborations with clinical investigators, corporate alliances, and formation of new startups. The Wyss Institute creates transformative technological breakthroughs by engaging in high risk research, and crosses disciplinary and institutional barriers, working as an alliance that includes Harvard’s Schools of Medicine, Engineering, Arts & Sciences and Design, and in partnership with Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston Children’s Hospital, Dana–Farber Cancer Institute, Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Massachusetts Medical School, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Boston University, Tufts University, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, University of Zurich and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

World’s First Supersonic Unmanned Combat Drone Reaches Speeds Of Over 1,500mph
Posted by Muhammad Furqan in categories: drones, robotics/AI, space travel
It can exceed the speed of sound, hitting an astonishing Mach 2.1! 😲🤯
A new combat drone has been created that can hit speeds of more than 1500mph.
The drone is much bigger than the ones you’ll have seen floating around your local parks, however, and looks more like a small spaceship.

National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence issues report on how to maintain U.S. dominance
Posted by Derick Lee in categories: government, internet, policy, robotics/AI, security
The 15-member commission calls a $40 billion investment to expand and democratize AI research and development a “modest down payment for future breakthroughs,” and encourages an attitude toward investment in innovation from policymakers akin that which led to building the interstate highway system in the 1950s. Ultimately, the group envisions hundreds of billions of dollars of spending on AI by the federal government in the coming years.
The National Security Commission on AI report makes recommendations ranging from 5G and China to immigration policy and civil rights.

Space startup Gitai raises $17.1M to help build the robotic workforce of commercial space
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: business, robotics/AI, satellites
Japanese space startup Gitai has raised a $17.1 million funding round, a Series B financing for the robotics startup. This new funding will be used for hiring, as well as funding the development and execution of an on-orbit demonstration mission for the company’s robotic technology, which will show its efficacy in performing in-space satellite servicing work. That mission is currently set to take place in 2023.
Gitai will also be staffing up in the U.S., specifically, as it seeks to expand its stateside presence in a bid to attract more business from that market.
“We are proceeding well in the Japanese market, and we’ve already contracted missions from Japanese companies, but we haven’t expanded to the U.S. market yet,” explained Gitai founder and CEO Sho Nakanose in an interview. So we would like to get missions from U.S. commercial space companies, as a subcontractor first. We’re especially interested in on-orbit servicing, and we would like to provide general-purpose robotic solutions for an orbital service provider in the U.S.”
