- A building that once shipped soldiers off to war is now launching the companies that could save the planet.
In this episode of NYC Innovates, we step inside the Brooklyn Army Terminal, a 95-acre waterfront complex that New York City is transforming into its largest climate innovation hub with a $100 million investment. From fire-safe e-bike battery swapping to AI-powered bridge inspections, we meet the startups using these historic halls as their secret testing ground before their technology hits the streets of cities across America.

- A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) connects your brain directly to a computer or machine, picking up electrical signals and turning them into real actions. For people with paralysis, stroke, or conditions like ALS who have lost the ability to move or speak, this technology is a breakthrough. It bypasses the body entirely, meaning a person who can't move a single muscle can still type, communicate, and control devices just by thinking.
We took a deep dive into this technology and the company that is supercharging its advancement. Check out the full episode on our Youtube channel!

Installed in marinas, harbours, and yacht clubs, the device works like a pool skimmer: a submersible pump sucks water in from the surface, trapping debris, oil, fuel and microplastic in a catch bag then pumps the clean water back out.
In a single year, one Seabin can collect up to 500 kg of plastic waste. With units now deployed in over 50 countries.

- In this episode of NYC Innovates, we go inside the cutting-edge world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), technology that creates a direct link between the human brain and the digital world. For nearly 400,000 Americans living with severe paralysis, BCIs represent a potential lifeline, restoring their ability to communicate, work, and engage with the world around them.
At the center of the story is Precision Neuroscience, a New York-based company developing what may be one of the most consequential pieces of medical technology ever created: a cortical interface thinner than a strand of human hair, embedded with over 1,000 micro-electrodes that sit on the surface of the brain without penetrating it. Precision positions itself on the pillars of safety, reversibility, and high bandwidth, and as of filming, had implanted more patients than the rest of the BCI industry combined.

Through thousands of trials and failures, it figured out how to balance, steer, hop on one wheel, and vault onto a one-meter platform, all on its own. The RAI Institute, a research organization pushing the frontier of robotic mobility and artificial intelligence, developed the UMV to explore just how far a machine can go when you hand it a goal and let it find its own way there.

In this episode of NYC Innovates, we take a deep dive into Standard Bots, a New York-based startup and currently the biggest American maker of industrial robot arms, is building something the robotics industry has never really attempted: a robot so intuitive that a factory worker with zero technical background can pick it up, program it, and deploy it in a single day.
Backed by Amazon, Samsung, and General Catalyst, and operating inside a vertically integrated production facility that takes raw bars of metal in one end and ships finished robots out the other, Standard Bots is making the case that American manufacturing does not have to lose this race.
The question is whether the US moves fast enough to win it.

- Description
- Running underwater, also known as aqua jogging, replicates the exact motion of running while removing nearly all joint impact. The water provides 12 to 14 percent more resistance than air, which means your muscles are working harder on every single stride, burning up to 40% more calories than a comparable land run, with zero pounding on your knees, ankles, or hips.
Studies show that runners who switch to aqua jogging exclusively for up to six weeks maintain their 5K times, their VO2 max, and their lactate threshold with almost no measurable drop in performance. It strengthens the areas runners neglect most, which are hip flexors, shoulders, core, and lower back, simply because water pushes back from every direction at once. Cardiologists recommend it to patients because the heart actually pumps more blood per beat in deep water than it does on land.

- Description
- Space doesn’t just challenge the mind, it quietly reshapes the body. In the absence of gravity, muscles begin to shrink, bones lose density, and even the heart works less. To counter this, astronauts follow a strict daily training routine designed to keep them strong and functional while in orbit.
Because the body deteriorates quickly in space, astronauts dedicate about two hours each day to exercise. Beyond space missions, the technology behind these machines is influencing how we approach rehabilitation and aging on Earth, showing that the solutions designed for orbit can have lasting impact far beyond it.
