Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa, Italy Graphical representation of the technology developed in the study. (Image: Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna) A research team led by Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa in collaboration with Cleveland Clinic has uncovered new insight into how the brain senses movement. Their findings, published in Science Advances, could potentially help improve sensation and movement for prosthetic limbs.

Automated injection molding lines producing components for Ypsomed’s self-medication devices. (Image: Ypsomed AG) The digital transformation of the medical technology industry demands agile process optimization, structured knowledge transfer, and rapid troubleshooting — especially when building new production capacity.

For years, advanced automation technologies such as motion control and industrial computing systems were largely confined to manufacturing plants and industrial facilities. These technologies delivered precision and efficiency, but their cost and complexity often placed them beyond the reach of smaller commercial machines. Today, edge computing is changing that status quo.

Hirebotics Beacon Cobot Welders enabled Tate to eliminate costly rework caused by manual welder-to-welder variability. (Image: Hirebotics) Tate supplies the structural assemblies inside some of the most demanding data center sites in the world. The kind of work where the schedule is fixed, the tolerances are tight, and the volume only grows.
