Now Multiply Labs, which was founded by Fred Parietti PhD '16 and former visiting PhD at MIT Alice Melocchi, is hoping to bring the speed and precision of its robots to a new type of advanced treatment.
Multiply Labs is attempting to automate many processes that can currently only be done by highly trained scientists, reducing the potential for human error. The platform will also perform some of the most time-consuming tasks of cell therapy production in parallel. For instance, the company's system will contain multiple bioreactors, which are used to grow the genetically modified cells that will be injected back into the patient.
Elegant chemistry, a humane view of robots, and refugee economics: Books in brief
When Francis Crick and James Watson discovered DNA's double helix, they privately called it "beautiful", says science writer Philip Ball. But in 1953, "such expressions of exuberance were not welcomed in the austere annals of science". Ball's scintillating book is a paean to chemical beauty in nature and laboratories, with lavish images created by Wenting Zhu, Yan Liang and the Chinese Chemical Society, using microphotography, time lapse, thermal imaging and more.
GPS depends on phenomena described in the general theory of relativity, but nothing in the theory predicted it. The possibility of GPS was thus a "counterfactual", notes theoretical physicist Chiara Marletto, whose engaging book centres on these "facts about what could be". By restricting itself to statements about initial conditions and laws of motion, she says, physics "is missing something essential".

In wake of COVID, employers step up automation and use of robots | The Seattle Times
As the U.S. economy rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic, employers are turning to greater use of automation, including robots, rather than calling back workers or hiring new ones in many cases.
The trend is affecting almost every sector, including manufacturing, distribution, transportation, retail, restaurants and many kinds of personal and government services.
Airports have been using mobile robots to spray disinfecting chemicals on their facilities — work that janitors had initially done wearing moon suits and other personal protective equipment.

For someone who lost a season to a nagging elbow injury that needed surgery, Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra understandably welcomed the postponement of the Tokyo Games last year.
The mop-haired former world junior champion, potentially independent India's first track-and-field Olympic medallist, had hoped to use the extra time to get back to full fitness and try to find his best form.
Whiteside Area Career Center helps build sanitizing robots
WHITESIDE COUNTY, Ill. (KWQC) - The Whiteside Area Career Center and the University of Illinois have formed a partnership to build sanitizing robots to help combat the spread of COVID-19.
This "first of its kind" partnership is a collaborative effort that will provide valuable experience and opportunity for the career center's students. They will be guided by professors at the University of Illinois as they construct ultra-violet sanitizing robots. The robots will be used within the school building as well as making them available to surrounding communities.
Discovering candidate for reflex network of walking cats: Understanding animals with robots --
A group of researchers from Osaka University developed a quadruped robot platform that can reproduce the neuromuscular dynamics of animals, discovering that a steady gait and experimental behaviors of walking cats emerged from the reflex circuit in walking experiments on this robot. Their research results were published in Frontiers in Neurorobotics .
It was thought that a steady gait in animals is generated by complex nerve systems in the brain and spinal marrow; however, recent research shows that a steady gait is produced by the reflex circuit alone. Scientists discovered a candidate of reflex circuit to generate the steady walking motion of cats, investigating locomotion mechanisms of cats by reproducing their motor control using robots and computer simulations.

Let's talk robots: 9 CEO insights from Medtronic, Stryker & more
The global surgical robot market is projected to hit $14.4 billion by 2026, up from about $6.4 billion in 2021, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets.
Medtronic's Mazor system continues to lead the spine robot market. Globus Medical and Zimmer Biomet continue to push their spine robots and NuVasive expects to launch a competing system later this year.
Here are nine insights on robotics in spine, hip and knee surgery from the CEOs of Medtronic, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet and NuVasive, according to their most recent earnings calls:
