Globally, the increase in population and industrial activity results in a growing volume of water consumption and wastewater generation. UNICEF (the United Nations Children's Fund) estimates that about half of the global population will face water scarcity by 2025, and by 2030, about 700 million people will be displaced by intense water scarcity. A...

Energy generation is the most crucial building block of a country’s economic development and a key determinant of its progress. Population growth requires a higher degree of economic development, which directly requires more energy to be generated. To meet the rising energy demands, the energy sector is under pressure to expand rapidly as countries...

Digitalization is gradually replacing paper-based tasks with digital processes. Standardized and monotonous processes are prime candidates for automation through robotic process automation (RPA), which deploys software bots replicating and automating procedures across applications and environments. RPA automates repetitive, labor-intensive, and tim...

The proliferation of internet of things applications, such as smart manufacturing and smart transportation, has resulted in the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data. These applications heavily rely on complex AI and machine learning algorithms, requiring computational solutions to handle varying workloads. Power-intensive, costly,...

Orthopedic implants replace or strengthen a damaged, painful, or deformed bone, cartilage, or joint and restore mobility and flexibility in patients with bone conditions. The demand for orthopedic implants is growing with the increasing number of orthopedic surgeries being performed every year. This is mainly due to the prevalence of musculoskeleta...

Connected medical devices are experiencing major interest from the healthcare industry because of their ability to integrate digital technologies, link with smartphones and online platforms, and share data. Advanced and small-sized sensors are set to accelerate the miniaturization of connected medical devices and improve their accuracy. As such, sm...

•The need for robotic exoskeletons is driven by the need to eliminate worker injuries, to help disabled individuals walk by providing lower-limb support, and to reduce factory-related fatalities. Robotic exoskeletons are motorized wearable robots that provide superhuman strength to workers, thereby enabling them to lift heavy equipment in applicati...
