MIT’s New App lets your Car tell you what it needs
MIT team develops software that can tell if tires need air, spark plugs are bad, or air filter needs replacing. Imagine hopping into a ride-share car, glancing at your smartphone, and telling…
System for seeing around corners could improve self-driving cars and search-and-rescue
MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) researchers have developed a new system named as “CornerCameras”, to detect objects or people in a hidden scene and measure their speed and trajectory…
“Superhero” robot wears different outfits for different tasks
Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are aiming to change that with a new shape-shifting robot that’s something of a superhero: It can transform itself with different “outfits”…
MIT’s New Polymer Discovery enables 3-D printed Self-folding Electronics
MIT researchers have designed 3-D printed structures that can fold themselves up without any outside stimulus, and the folding begins the instant it is peeled off the printing platform. As 3-D printing…
