The aerospace and defense industry has widely adopted the use of model-based systems engineering (MBSE) for the development, design, testing, and verification phases of new products and technologies over the last decade.

Not a traditional university lab, Harvard University’s Move Lab employs professional engineers, product developers, and academics who work across disciplines to bring research innovations to market. The lab is focused on human performance enhancement to protect people’s physical ability to guard against injury, extend their abilities beyond the limits of advancing age, and restore them to people who have lost them. They have developed wearable solutions that support functional movements and allow impaired individuals to more easily interact with their environment.

Artificial intelligence (AI) might be the hottest topic in tech circles today, as intelligent software proves itself capable of a growing number of tasks — often with better speed and accuracy than humans, though sometimes not. The technology almost always requires a “human in the loop,” someone to train the software and ensure its accuracy. But long before the arrival of AI models that caused a sensation by writing coherent paragraphs and creating stylish images, a different kind of AI was born with the help of NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley — one that only exists between machines, running autonomously without any human intervention.

This technical white paper provides a practical, step-by-step guide to selecting and sizing gearmotors for optimal machine performance. Learn how to evaluate power supply types, torque and speed requirements, duty cycles, and space constraints. The paper also compares AC, DC, and brushless DC motor options and offers real-world examples presented by Bodine Electric’s application engineers. Ideal for machine design engineers challenged to create compact, efficient, and cost-effective systems.

Equine-Assisted Interventions (EAIs) offer a powerful alternative to traditional talking therapies for patients with PTSD, trauma, and autism who struggle to express and regulate emotions through words alone.
