]]> DigInfo: http://movie.diginfo.tv – With the increasing elderly population who need physical istance moving around, Okayama University is working on a Mckibben Artificial Muscle system that uses air pressure to help the elderly and disabled move. The system consists of a thin mesh over a rubber tube that expands and contracts like real muscles as air is pumped into it. This can help improve people’s grip and even help people who can’t stand stand up. Since it mimics the natural muscle behavior this technology is appealing but there are a few drawbacks still to fix such as the weight and size of the compressed air generator and control unit as well as precision controls for fine motions.

]]> The purpose of the Workshop is to define and develop an industry — University Nano Materials and MEMS collaboration for Missouri which will lead to additional R&D funding and business development within the State. The tasks of the Workshop will be to develop a strategy to grow the present facilities infrastructure at the University of Missouri-Columbia and to identify and define industry needs and goals that will result in partnerships and collaborations necessary to be nationally competitive.
