Naturally, I jumped at the opportunity to take Verve Motion’s SafeLift Exosuit for a spin. You put it on over your shoulders and then snap yourself in with a pair of chest straps. Next, another pair of soft straps are stretched around your thighs and Velcro-ed in place. The thigh straps are connected to a pair of soft fabric cables that retract into the backpack with a bit of a yank. Verve Motion sells SafeLift as part of a larger system featuring a wall of lockers/cubby holes used to store and charge the exosuits.

“Boosting “Renew Home”: SIP provides $100M to unite Google Nest and OhmConnect”

OhmConnect is currently active in California, Texas, and New York, and the new company, Renew Home, plans to expand into new markets once launched, the spokesperson added. Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners itself was once a part of Sidewalk Labs. Sidewalk Labs got its start originally as a Google moonshot in 2015 with the lofty goal of using tech to improve urban life. SIP was eventually spun out of Sidewalk Labs in 2020 fuelled with a $400 million investment from Google. Nest Renew has been one of OhmConnect’s customers, alongside Sensi, ecobee, Carrier and others.
