25-Year-Old Canadian Disability Innovator Receives Prestigious 2024 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award

HAMILTON, ON, Nov. 1, 2024 /CNW/ – 25-year-old Canadian engineer and disability innovator, Lianna Genovese, Founder of ImaginAble Solutions will be honored with the prestigious 2024 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award in Louisville, KY this November.

Genovese, the inventor of Guided Hands, an assistive device that empowers individuals with limited hand mobility to write, draw, and use technology, will be recognized alongside notable figures Dawne Gee, Nile Rodgers, Bryan Stevenson, and Shaquille O’Neal.

“It’s an honor to be recognized and to celebrate Muhammad Ali’s incredible legacy as an athlete, artist, activist, and humanitarian.” said Genovese.

Genovese, a redound disability advocate and decorated inventor, has won over 44 awards including Forbes 30 Under 30 and The James Dyson Engineering Award.

“This recognition helps to bring awareness and advocate for the disability community.” Limited hand mobility affects 58 million people in North America including those with Cerebral Palsy, arthritis, and Parkinson’s Disease. “The more our product is known, the more people we can help.”

The first prototype of Guided Hands was developed in 2019 when Genovese was a first year biomedical and mechanical engineering student at McMaster University. Here, Lianna met Elissa, an artist with Cerebral Palsy who devastatingly, lost her ability to paint.

This chance meeting changed everything for Genovese. “As I watched Elissa paint again, I knew this device could help others like her.”

“It took two years of market research and working closely with the disability community, occupational therapists, and rehabilitation specialists to finalize the design of Guided Hands.”

“Designing for the disability community requires compassion, deep listening, and patience. The process requires care and cannot be rushed.”

This award holds special meaning for Lianna. “When I learned that Mr. Ali was an artist and lost his ability to draw after his diagnosis with Parkinson’s – I was deeply touched. Self-expression is beautiful and also a human right, one that should be accessible to everyone. I believe Mr. Ali would agree.”

Genovese hopes Mr. Ali’s namesake award will help her company, ImaginAble Solutions, reach more people and families in the disability community.

In honor of Muhammad Ali’s generosity, ImaginAble Solutions will launch a sponsorship program at the Awards on November 9th, gifting Guided Hands to families in need. “Muhammad Ali once said, ‘Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.’ I intend to keep paying that rent.”

Atomic-6 Secures Development Contract with Starpath Robotics for Deployable Lunar Boom

November 22, 2024

ATLANTA, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Atomic-6, a leader in advanced composite structures, has signed a development contract with lunar infrastructure company, Starpath Robotics, to create a deployable composite boom for their innovative solar power generation system.

The partnership combines Starpath’s lunar mining and infrastructure expertise with Atomic-6’s proprietary composite manufacturing technology. Starpath’s lunar development program aims to establish robotic mining operations capable of producing hundreds of tons of Liquid Oxygen annually for refueling and space industrial applications, with a path to scale power and production capacity past tens-of-thousands of tons annually.

“The Power Tower’s deployable mast is a challenging component to manufacture,” said Saurav Shroff, CEO of Starpath Robotics. “A stiff, reliable and lightweight mast is important in optimizing power-per-mast and, equally importantly, increasing the visible land area on the Moon that can be serviced by high-data-rate long-range communication systems at the top of the tower. In the not so distant future tens, and then hundreds, and then thousands, of Power Towers establish cislunar capabilities suited for a multiplanetary species. To give a size perspective, the Power Tower will be a colossal structure, equivalent to almost one and a half NBA regulation size basketball courts!”

Atomic-6’s Space Mast™ technology offers 15% higher specific strength than conventional composites, making it ideal for applications requiring high stiffness and minimal weight. The company has demonstrated this capability through successful USAF STTR contracts and its Light Wing™ solar array product line.

Upon conclusion of the contract, Starpath will evaluate the Atomic-6 composite mast’s performance, with the potential for a follow-on contract to build, launch, demonstrate, and rapidly scale advanced deployment systems on the lunar surface, anticipated for 2026. This partnership supports Starpath’s objective to vastly reduce the cost of deep space missions and lay the foundation for a multi planet future, and NASA’s $93B Artemis Program goal of establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon.
