New AI tool calculates materials’ stress and strain based on photos
MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that uses an image of the material’s internal structure to estimate the stresses and strains acting on the material. For centuries, engineers have relied on…
New system that uses smartphone or computer cameras to measure pulse, respiration rate could help future personalized telehealth appointments
Telehealth has become a critical way for doctors to still provide health care while minimizing in-person contact during COVID-19. But with phone or Zoom appointments, it’s harder for doctors to get important…
Using artificial intelligence to generate 3D holograms in real-time
MIT researchers have developed a way to produce holograms almost instantly. They say the deep learning-based method is so efficient that it could run on a smartphone. The new method called tensor…
The Smellicopter is an obstacle-avoiding drone that uses a live moth antenna to seek out smells
Researchers have developed Smellicopter: an autonomous drone that uses a live antenna from a moth to navigate toward smells. One huge advantage of drones is that these little robots can go places…
