Do you know your “remnant cholesterol”? It could be better than LDL for predicting your risk of having a heart attack or stroke; Vagal nerve stimulation for seizures—could adding a keto diet help? Exoskeletons that help runners, hikers, and cyclists have hit the consumer marketplace for recreational athletes; RFK Jr's HHS launches program to improve infant formulas; Insurers bilk taxpayers for billions by double-charging Medicaid.

What will well-dressed astronauts be wearing on the Artemis III mission? Will AI destroy creativity? Can we actually make leather clothing out of mushrooms? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome engineer and futurist Alexia Stylianou, who is designing wearable biometric platforms that can measure human biomechanics to a resolution and degree far beyond what's accessible to everyday people. Before we get to introducing our guest this episode, though, Charles whets our appetite about amazing developments coming out of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory where he's on the Science Advisory Committee. Our joyfully cool cosmic thing of the day is Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost Mission 1 to the Moon. As Allen points out, it's part of NASA's CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) initiative and is the most successful private Lunar landing to date – among other things, it landed right-side up! Alexa talks about the importance of giving engineers the freedom to solve problems and the uncertainty of programs like this continuing to be funded by NASA. Allen brings up the Viper, a NASA-funded lunar rover which was built, but lost its funding before testing was completed. Charles asks Alexia to tell us about an example of something on the horizon she thinks is really cool, and she mentions that Prada is designing the space suits for the Artemis III mission in partnership with Axiom Space. She explains that Prada has a history of using cutting edge materials and design that makes them an appropriate partner in the process. Then it's time for our first audience question. Luis asks, “What is needed to create the next amazing space technology that will break all the conventions we have about space travel?” Alexia talks about the increasing importance of incorporating user-centered design or human-centered design, and how it's revolutionizing the process. You'll hear about the development of direct pressure space suits, as well as research into exoskeletons for use in industry and auto manufacturing – although sadly, Alien-style exoskeleton loaders like Ripley uses are still science fiction, for now. Looking even further out, Alexia talks about nuclear semiotics – the effort to come up with ways to communicate to societies that will exist hundreds of thousands of years in the future the danger of radioactive material we're creating now? You'll find out why the skulls and crossbones and other danger iconography we use now aren't up to the task, and the universality of stick-figure iconography. Our next question comes from Johanna: “Will AI destroy creativity?” Questions like this are becoming more frequent, especially in areas like education. Chuck, Alexia and Allen jump into a thought-provoking conversation, and how there are ways to let students use AI as a tool like a calculator while simultaneously incentivizing and stimulating their creativity. Speaking of creativity, Chuck asks Alexia about her love of science fiction and the well-designed stack of books behind her (sorry, Podcast People!). She pulls out and describes “Gideon the Ninth,” the first book in a sci-fi fantasy series about immortal space necromancers by Tamsyn Muir. Alexia talks about speculative fiction and speculative design, and tells us about a team of designers that have created a room that smells like the pollution of the future in order to offer a tangible way to engage our senses now about a future we might yet be able to avoid. Finally, Chuck asks Alexia for one more cool futuristic development she's wants us all to think about. She tells us about the development of mushroom leather (aka mycelium leather), an alternative, eco-friendly, and ethical textile made from fungi grown on apple waste. If you'd like to know more about Alexia, you can find her on LinkedIn. We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.

A machine that allows the paralyzed to walk again, and textiles that can monitor your vital signs without the need for wires. These were just two of the top health gadgets at this year's CES tech show in Las Vegas. When Chloe Angus suffered a spinal injury ten years ago, she was told she would never walk again. And yet, she is. Despite being paralyzed from the waist down, she's able to stand thanks to the XoMotion exoskeleton by Human in Motion. Angus says it pushes the boundaries of what's possible for people with disabilities. "How we differentiate and how we have stepped into the next generation of exoskeletons is that we are a fully independent self-balancing exoskeleton, meaning that we do not need arm crutches or a walker to use the device. You don't have to have upper body strength. We can accommodate much higher levels of injury and we can also get people into exoskeleton sooner after injury with our device," says Angus, who is a director of the company. The XoMotion has been approved for use in Canada as a clinical device and will be available in clinics, hospitals and research labs. CES, the annual trade show of all things tech, opened on January 7. Formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show, CES brings attendees and exhibitors from around the world. CES 2024 saw more than 138,000 attendees, according to the CTA, and organizers expected to see at least that amount again for this year's show. Over 4,500 exhibitors, including 1,400 startups, were anticipated across 2.5 million square feet of floor space. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Do you want to have a superpower? Of course, people still can't change their size, walk through walls, or teleport, since it contradicts the laws of physics. But there are some other superpowers that are available nowadays for the right price! TIMESTAMPS: Fear projection 1:23 Iron suit 2:29 Spider-Man wall-climbing 3:22 Immunity to pain 4:07 Night vision 5:03 Ability to heal yourself 5:44 Super speed 6:27 Invisibility 7:23 Ability to fly 8:25 Being bulletproof 9:13 Super strength 10:09 #superpower #invisibility #superspeed Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: Infrasound is basically acoustic waves of extremely low frequencies. These waves are below the human hearing threshold, so we can't really hear them. Technicians at Japan's Tsukuba University have already created a special exoskeleton suit called the HAL 5. It's 9 feet tall and weighs almost 90 pounds. Dr. Liming Dai from the University of Dayton and Dr. Zhong Lin Wang from the Georgia Institute of Technology invented a super “sticky” material! It has a nanotube spatula design that's based on microscopic hairs. This means that you can cling to any surface of your choice. There's an absolutely real and very rare disease called Congenital Insensitivity to Pain. A person with this condition never experiences physical pain. Modern technology allows you to use advanced night vision devices. They used to be super expensive and only available for the military and special agencies. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (aka DARPA) is developing an implant that hooks directly to a person's nervous system. It'll treat depression without the help of medication, look after internal organs, and treat them when necessary. There's an exoskeleton that helps people run long distances faster than even the best sprinter. With the use of a particular material, Canadian scientists decided to alter light waves to pass through an object. This has already given a pretty impressive result but only if an object is illuminated with one color. One Australian company has already created the Martin Jetpack. This device can develop a speed of 45 miles per hour and travel at an altitude of 3,300 feet. One company in Columbia makes bulletproof clothing! This enterprise is already 25 years old and is now conquering the American market. Exoskeletons come in a wide variety these days. One of them, the FORTIS, can help workers by holding up to 36 pounds of tools.

It's been another wild week at the intersection of business, technology, and human experience. The pace of change is showing no signs of slowing, and this week's updates highlight why that can be both a great and a not-so-great thing. Apple Robotics - Following its announcement to shut down investment into automotive, it has set its sights on personal robotics. While it's still too early to know exactly what Apple means by "personal robotics," there's no shortage of speculation. However, if you're thinking Rosy the Robot will be serving you dinner by 2025, you might want to slow your roll. Top Skill of The Future - Autodesk did a recent and robust survey across a diverse spectrum of industries to assess the impact of AI on employees, and its findings were both encouraging and not completely surprising. The top skill for professionals was almost universally one's ability to work with AI. The encouraging news there is the word "with." The survey highlights how the future is continuing to show a tight partnership between humans and machines, not a replacement of one by the other. AI-Generated Cinema - TCL is launching what it claims to be the first AI-generated romance film this summer. If the trailer is any indication of what we can expect to see, you won't need to buy your tickets in advance. You'll likely also have plenty of room to put up your feet, lean back, and store snacks in the seats around you. That said, people are already following AI influencers, so who knows, it may be the smash hit of the summer. Data on Hiring Bias - The data is back on what may have been one of the most extensive studies on hiring bias, and it's an encouraging milestone while highlighting we still have room to grow. While there remains notable bias in selecting candidates, it's not as widespread as you may think. Granted, this shouldn't have us taking our eye off the target, but it's an encouraging milestone in our journey toward more equitable work. All-Terrain Exoskeletons - If you've weaseled your way out of a mountain hike or backpack adventure due to bad knees or being out of shape, you might want to start noodling on some new excuses. DNSYS is launching an all-terrain exoskeleton for under a grand with a 15-18 mile range that might put scaling Everest back on your bucket list. Show Notes: This episode delves into a variety of future-focused topics, starting with Apple's shift from car production to personal robotics, examining both the opportunities and challenges this presents. It discusses the fast-paced advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and its integration into different industries, noting Apple's strategic position in the AI landscape. The conversation moves to the concept of personal robotics, exploring the potential and current limitations of such technology in everyday life. Additionally, the episode covers a recent report on the top skills for the future, emphasizing the importance of working with AI, alongside a critique of an AI-generated movie, questioning its quality and impact. The discourse also addresses a study on hiring bias, revealing a preference for white candidates in some companies, and concludes with an overview of an innovative all-terrain exoskeleton device designed to enhance human mobility and strength. 00:00 Welcome and Introduction 02:01 The Evolution of Apple: From iCars to Personal Robotics 10:12 Mastering AI: The Essential Skill for Future Success 17:04 AI in Entertainment: The First AI-Generated Movie 24:50 Addressing Hiring Bias: Insights and Progress 34:35 Innovations in Mobility: The All-Terrain Exoskeleton 39:52 Closing Thoughts and Farewell #ai #skills #hiring #apple #robotics

A psychological horror story about the delusions of a narcissistic parent. (We aren't sure the book knows that's what's happening but it is what it is.) It's like the Book Eaters - to the extent that we think they constitute their own emergent genre - but possibly worse.

The idea of a super soldier is not new and has been explored in various forms of media. However, in reality, there have been attempts to create soldiers with enhanced capabilities. According to a BBC News article, militaries around the world are exploring various technologies to enhance their soldiers. For instance, the US military had initiated a project called the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit (Talos) which was a protective suit that could withstand bullets and other forms of damage. Exoskeletons are another technology that militaries are exploring to enhance their soldiers.

Debbie Backus is with the Shepherd Center, a rehabilitation hospital located in Atlanta, and is also the president of ACRM, a multidisciplinary organization whose mission is to help improve the lives of people with disabilities, particularly brain and spinal cord injuries. In this episode, she discusses the current technologies used to help patients with movement disabilities, how far the technologies have come, the cost-effectiveness of such technologies, and how those technologies may continue to grow in the future. Top three takeaways: Organizations such as the Shepherd Center and ACRM serve to help and rehabilitate patients who have suffered injuries resulting in movement disabilities, and research technologies and novel interventions to restore mobility in these patients. Technologies such as FES and exoskeletons that are used by patients with movement disabilities are in their early stages, and are expensive to manufacture. If medical technologies can be shown to present a benefit to patients and their well-being, they may be further developed to improve cost-effectiveness, functionality, and ease of use.   [0:00] Ladan introduces the episode and IFESS, the sponsor [0:28] Debbie Backus is introduced [0:44] Debbie talks about the mission of the Shepherd Center, and about the types of patients that the organization cares for [1:36] Debbie discusses ACRM, the services it offers, and how the organization started [2:52] Debbie talks about the technology involved in rehab medicine, and how it has grown over the years [4:11] Debbie talks about the way technology solves problems, and how when designing technologies to solve clinical problems, the problems are not always solved in the best way initially. [4:52] Debbie discusses certain challenges with technology, such as cost effectiveness. She discusses her own research into the effectiveness of FES cycles, and how certain components may be too expensive for patients to afford. [5:22] Debbie discusses how if it can be shown how such technology presents a clear benefit to patients, then perhaps more cost-effective options can be developed. [6:11] Exoskeletons designed for patient mobility are discussed, and they are likened to old-fashioned computers which would take up a whole room. It is discussed how as the technology improves, it will become more practical and economically feasible. [7:28] Debbie discusses FES bikes, and how once a patient is evaluated and is deemed fit to ride one, they should be able to go to a gym and use one [7:49] Real bikes are discussed for these patients, rather than stationary ones [9:38] Debbie discusses her impression with ACRM being involved with rehab week for the first time

Elena García Armada invented a robotic exoskeleton for children who use wheelchairs, vastly improving their rehabilitation. However, going from lab to market was no mean feat. The Spanish robotics expert had to navigate clinical testing, impress investors, learn about intellectual property and attract world-class engineers to work on her ambitious project. But seeing smiles on the faces of young patients who walk for the very first time have made the journey worthwhile. This episode is part of the Inspiring Inventors series, which looks at ground-breaking technologies and the people behind them.  Moderator: Edward Cooke, Patent examiner, European Patent Office  Guest: Elena García Armada, Co-founder and CEO, Marsi Bionics  More about Elena García Armada: https://new.epo.org/en/news-events/european-inventor-award/meet-the-finalists/elena-garcia-armada

In a perfect world, a person who is a hundred years old would have the same quality of life as someone who is 40. But this does not exist right now. What does, however, are technologies that allow us to compound human strength, to work differently, to assist us as our bodies grow old. One of those are Exosuits or Exoskeletons; and in this conversation, we are joined by not one but two guests: Orthopaedic and Spine Surgeon Dr. Isador Lieberman and Healthcare Sales Executive Scott Gunnigle. Together, they talk about how this technology works, particularly how it operates through the brain and spine connection. Dr. Lieberman and Scott dive deep into the process that bridges the interface between the brain and spine and how we can get these technologies to be consumer products. For more great insights on the future of surgery and the technology that impacts our health and quality of life, tune in to this great conversation!Love the show?

The battlefield is a terrible place. How can we make it an even more terrible place? Drugs and robot suits. On this episode, Lee and Nathan examine the use of meth in WWII and Vietnam, and then examine a DARPA plan to build exoskeletons. Also, telepathy and mind control.

Today's interview is with IHMC's Dr. Gwen Bryan, a research scientist who investigates wearable robotic devices aimed at augmenting human performance in clinical, occupational, and military applications. She is particularly focused on maximizing the benefits of powered exoskeletons. At IHMC, Gwen leads the exoskeleton team, which is developing a novel augmentative device that continues IHMC's research on mobility devices for people with spinal cord injury. The team also is researching a powered exoskeleton to aid government employees whose work involves nuclear site remediation. Gwen and her team's effort, which utilizes a human-centered research approach, is uniquely situated to expand exoskeleton research and technology because of the expertise and collaboration that's available among IHMC's robotics and human-performance research groups. Gwen joined IHMC after completing her Ph.D. in the Stanford Biomechatronics Lab. Outside of work, Gwen enjoys soccer, weightlifting, painting and snowboarding. She also is a dog mom to two very adorable shelter dogs, Bandit and Oreo. Show notes: [00:02:32] Dawn asks Gwen what it was like growing up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. [00:03:02] Dawn mentions that it seems science was a part of Gwen's life early on. Dawn goes on to mention that Gwen's father was an engineer, and her mother was a nurse and asks how her parents having these backgrounds influenced her. [00:03:35] In addition to a science background, Gwen's mother is also a clarinetist who instilled a love for the arts in Gwen.  Dawn asks Gwen about her painting and how art benefits other aspects of her life. [00:04:17] Ken asks Gwen what she was like as a kid. [00:04:59] Ken asks Gwen to talk about a rafting trip she took with her cousin through the Grand Canyon. [00:06:27] Dawn asks Gwen how chocolate chip cookies factored into her third-grade science fair project. [00:08:04] Dawn mentions that fitness became a part of Gwen's life following an injury she had as a senior in high school. Exercise, particularly weightlifting, helped alleviate her back pain. Dawn asks Gwen what her fitness journey taught her about her body, and ultimately, how that experience gave her insights into the work she does today. [00:09:16] Ken asks Gwen how she chose to go to the University of Texas in Austin. [00:10:38] Dawn mentions that Gwen transferred to the University of New Mexico for her undergraduate work. Dawn asks Gwen what motivated her to apply her interest in mechanical engineering into robotics. [00:11:28] Ken asks Gwen what was involved in her transfer from the University of Texas to New Mexico. [00:12:34] Ken asks Gwen what led her to the Stanford Biomechatronics Lab. [00:13:38] Ken asks Gwen to talk about her internship with the Sandia National Research Labs. [00:14:40] Dawn shifts to talk about Gwen's current research focus on wearable robotics, particularly exoskeletons, mentioning that when the public hears this term most people generally think either insect exoskeletons or Ironman. Dawn asks Gwen to describe the exoskeletons she works on. [00:15:25] Dawn mentions that the potential uses of exoskeletons to help people with limited or no lower-limb mobility seems, in some respects, clear, but the application has been limited, and asks why that is. [00:16:40] Dawn asks what some other applications of exoskeletons are that are important to know about. [00:18:35] Ken mentions that during Gwen's doctoral work at Stanford, she developed the first cable-driven exoskeleton to assist all the three leg joints — hips, knees, and ankles — and asks Gwen to talk about how that design was developed and what made it special in the exoskeleton field. [00:20:10] Ken explains that Gwen's work also developed novel control systems for exoskeletons by using feedback from real-time physiological measurements of the user – coined human-in-the-loop optimization (HILO).
