Intermittent coating with precise edges: The process developed by KIT allows for the coating of electrode foils at new record speed. Schmitt/KIT) Click to enlarge. In a recent techno-economic analysis of Li-ion battery manufacturing, a CMU/MIT team used 10 meters per minute as the assumed coating processing rate. Earlier post.).

MIT ] Staff, students (and quadruped robots!) In response, we introduce IN-Sight, a novel approach to self-supervised path planning, enabling more effective navigation strategies through interaction with obstacles. [ ETH Zurich paper / IROS 2024 ] When working on autonomous cars, sometimes it’s best to start small.

Inspired by the hardiness of bumblebees, MIT researchers have developed repair techniques that enable a bug-sized aerial robot to sustain severe damage to the actuators, or artificial muscles, that power its wings—but to still fly effectively. [ MIT ] This robot gripper is called DragonClaw, and do you really need to know anything else?

Her team created a suite of low-cost medical devices, the NEST360 newborn tool kit, to improve neonatal health in sub-Saharan Africa. After graduating in 1985 with bachelor’s degrees in physics and mathematics, she headed to MIT as a graduate student with the goal of pursuing a career in medical engineering.
