Researchers say they've made smart clothes that actually feel like fabric
Researchers say they've made smart clothes that can track poses, pressure and more — all the while remaining as comfy as everyday clothes.
MIT researchers created a system that prints functional drones and robots
LaserFactory cuts out a shape, then adds circuitry and components.
MIT's oncological risk AI calculates cancer chances regardless of race
Artificial intelligence and machine learning systems continue to be adopted into an ever wider array of healthcare applications, such as assisting doctors with medical image diagnostics. Capable of understanding X-rays and rapidly generating MRIs -- sometimes even able to spot cases of COVID -- these systems have also proven effective at noticing early signs of breast cancer which might otherwise be missed by radiologists. Google and IBM, as well as medical centers and university research teams around the world, have all sought to develop such cancer-catching algorithms.
MIT tests autonomous 'Roboat' that can carry two passengers
MIT looked at the original Roboat as “quarter-scale” option, with the Roboat II being half-scale; they’re slowly working up to the point of a full-scale option that can carry four to six passengers.
MIT researchers use radio signals to detect everyday household activities
The RF-Diary can track someone's activities while maintaining their privacy.
