Some wearable electronics—like sensors sewn into fabrics, or applicable “skins”—rely on the development of new, durable, stretchable electronic materials. One way to enhance the elasticity of these often-delicate materials is by introducing strategic cuts into them, creating a stretchable mesh. Recently, a team of researchers from the University of Southern California approached this materials design […]

Antoine Bruno, general manager and president, said Alliora had wanted to add automation to its production lines for a while. Unfortunately, its first experience was difficult. Industrial robots were too complex. The company bought one, but it was never able to get it to work properly. The post How a box manufacturer tackled labor issues […]
