In the rapidly evolving landscape of medical devices, the more novel the applications become, the more creative we must be from a design, development, and testing perspective. For example, when developing complex catheters for robotic surgery, how do you approach design verification when the interventionalist is one step away from the catheter? During this engineering theater presentation, Kate Soojian, VitalPath Senior R&D Manager, will explore the unique challenges that engineers are facing on these next generation device projects and how to use an innovative problem-solving approach to ensure project success.

While it may be noble to develop robotics to help older demographics in society, companies small and large have good business reasons to do so. Roughly 10,000 Baby Boomers retire daily. These consumers not only have wants and needs, but they have worked their whole lives to create a nest egg to fund them. After 40-plus year careers, expectations are high, whether it’s demanding robotic-assisted surgery to get back on the golf course, an automated vacuum to take care of the house or a vehicle with the latest car with driver-assistance features to keep them independent. To make an impact (and a profit) designers must look beyond the mere need and consider user adoption and motivation if they hope to be successful in this increasingly competitive market. This talk will first define the size and opportunity this market provides robotics companies. Examples of how businesses are re-defining the way technical products and services are developed, marketed and adopted by older users will be presented. The challenges between the design team and consumer such as empathy, social, economic and other barriers will be discussed. The audience will leave with a greater appreciation for user adoption and an awareness of best practices for designing for older audiences. Hint: nobody ever asked for a wristlet incase ‘I have fallen and I can’t get up’. But if we work together, I promise we can build them what they do want.

Join Brian Geisel, CEO of Geisel Software, to find out why we’re ditching reality to achieve the next level of autonomy. Through the lens of an Earth-shattering (or perhaps Mars-shattering?) NASA case study, you’ll see firsthand how cutting-edge simulation environments are not just about testing theories but about creating solutions that work in the real world. As the world evolves, so do the challenges. Computer-Vision models are running out of training data, or operating in environments where there isn’t any today. For some models, the training data we need might take decades or centuries to gather, and achieving high accuracy is more critical—and difficult—than ever. Enter Synthetic Image Data. Discover how scene-based synthetic data is revolutionizing model training and validation with unprecedented depth, accuracy, and photorealism. This is making the. development process faster and more cost-effective while boosting the reliability and performance of autonomous systems in real-world scenarios. By the end of our session, you’ll gain actionable insights on when to leverage synthetic data to improve model accuracy and to empower you to implement advanced simulation techniques in your own projects. Join us to transform your approach to autonomy and innovation.
