Swedish medical startups partner with General Motors to develop mechanical gloves

Release date: 2016-10-13

On October 11th, according to Reuters, medical technology startup Bioservo Technologies announced that it has reached a cooperation with General Motors. The two parties intend to jointly develop a lightweight mechanical glove that can help front-line workers complete automobile assembly work.

Bioservo Technologies itself has developed mechanical glove products for the medical field that help people with insufficient grip gain "extra muscle strength." In cooperation with General Motors, both parties will be able to provide a more efficient auxiliary equipment for workers working on the assembly line.

“People can find other devices (to replace our solution), but these devices often have a structure that must be wrapped around the arm, or must be worn on the body, or sometimes even with a finger to activate, in contrast, Our products are made purely from textiles. This is unique,” ​​said Johan Ingvast, co-founder and principal researcher at Bioservo.

Bioservo from Sweden has been able to simulate and enhance the same human movements with soft textiles by placing sensors on three fingers and recording the user's movements, in conjunction with the motor-driven artificial tendon. This technology has been used in the medical field to help re-control limbs such as arthritis patients.

Now, the company has chosen to work with General Motors to combine the latter with NASA's joint RoboGlove technology to create a suitable fit for the automotive assembly industry, which will reduce the pressure of workers after repeated heavy lifting activities. Or fatigued mechanical gloves products.

GM said it plans to test new gloves in some of its factories and hopes that this new product will improve worker efficiency.

Bioservo hopes to extend the same technology to other parts of the body.

“Can we use this technology on the upper arm?” Ingvarst said, “Or used on the back to help relieve pain in the back? There are actually many parts of our body that can be tried.”

Greenhouse Support Line

The greenhouse support line is used for the plant that stands tall on its own. The support will keep your plants healthy and upright. This economical and efficient support system will wow you.
Retaining the plant stems within the spiral sections, allows secure support without restriction. This gives the plant freedom of movement and encourages air circulation, helping to prevent fungal diseases and promoting strong stem growth. Supporting "Asters to Zinnias" has never been so easy!
