36. How To Reinvent Construction Using Robotics

(0:55) - Reinventing The Construction Industry: There are 150,000 accidents on construction sites every year and there have been little technological advances to mitigate these risks - until now. University of Michigan is leading research efforts to develop a collaborative robot that can handle all the physically strenuous, and dangerous, tasks on the job site with instructions from seasoned construction workers. (11:46) - Software To Increase Mental Strength: Have you ever struggled to focus when you really need to? Or worse, find your brain to be incredibly active when you are trying to sleep? Well, ETH Zurich researchers have designed a software program to analyze and display brain activity on a spectrum - MyFlow - to make your life a little easier. MyFlow does this via retinal image analysis and can provide activities to train your brain in a manner that best suits you. --About the podcast:Every day, some of the most innovative universities, companies, and individual technology developers share their knowledge on Wevolver.
