Collaborate Disseminate
When you put a human driver behind the wheel, they will use primarily their eyes to navigate. Both to stay on the road and to use any navigation aids, such as maps and digital navigation assistants. For self-driving cars, tackling the latter is relatively easy, as the system would use …read more

Most often, humans and robots do not have to work directly together, instead working on different parts in a production pipeline or with the robot performing tasks instead of a human. In such cases any human-robot interaction (HRI) will be superficial. Yet what if humans and robots have to work …read more
Early detection is key when it comes boosting survival rates for cancer patients, and there are a lot of ways scientists are working to swing the odds in their favor. Urine tests that pick up biomarkers of the disease are one exciting possibility, and … Continue reading MIT’s urine test for lung cancer could cut out unnecessary biopsies
Brain-implanted electrodes have numerous uses, ranging from the controlling of prosthetic arms to the monitoring of neural activity. They could soon be more effective than ever, as scientists have now developed ones that are soft and squishy.Continue R… Continue reading Rubbery electrodes developed for better reading of the brain
For type 1 diabetics, regular injections of insulin are an unfortunate reality of life, necessary to keep their blood-sugar levels in check in lieu of a healthy pancreas. Scientists at MIT have developed a new type of implantable cell that could handle… Continue reading MIT’s “living drug factories” produce insulin from inside the body
In its current form, wireless charging technology isn’t much more useful than plugging in your phone – after all, the device still has to be in contact with the charger. But there’s plenty of ambient radiation just floating around in the air, and now r… Continue reading Graphene device could harvest Wi-Fi signals for wireless charging
Simulators have been used for years to train human drivers, pilots and astronauts, and now they’re being used to train self-driving cars too – and a new system developed by researchers at MIT could be the most promising yet.Continue ReadingCategory: Au… Continue reading MIT can now train self-driving cars in a photorealistic simulator
In many parts of the world the COVID-19 pandemic is causing shortages in hospital space, staff, medical supplies, and equipment. Severe cases may require breathing support, but there are only so many ventilators available. With that in mind, MIT is working on FDA approval of an emergency ventilator system (E-Vent). …read more

Ordinarily, self-driving cars use cameras and other sensors to “see” where they are on the road. However, what happens if the road markings are covered in snow? Well, MIT has developed a system that lets vehicles look beneath the asphalt instead.Contin… Continue reading MIT car-guiding tech sees beneath snow-covered roads
Bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics much faster than new drugs can be developed, potentially leading us to a dangerous future where infections are more likely to be deadly. Now, an artificial intelligence model has identified a powerful new… Continue reading AI system discovers powerful new antibiotic to tackle superbugs
