Jordan McRae ’05 was scuba diving off the coast of Mozambique many years ago when he started having trouble with his regulator. Unable to breathe effectively, he signaled to a fellow diver for help—but his companion didn’t understand. Inspired by this scary experience McRae founded Mobilus Labs, a startup commercializing a voice communication platform that works wherever it is hard to hear.
RialTo is an easy-to-use interface for quickly scanning and constructing digital twins of real-world environments. This new system is able to simulate environments construction on the fly from very small amounts of real-world data resulting in a robust robotic manipulation tool.
NSE graduate student Thomas Varnish's love of capturing a fleeting moment on film translates to his research when he conducts laser interferometry on plasmas using off-the-shelf cameras. Research in lab-based astrophysics has enabled Varnish to study various facets of astrophysically relevant fundamental plasma physics — an otherwise heavily theoretical subject.
MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology presents a vivid, 360 degree immersive retelling of the Haudenosaunee creation story by multimedia artist and 2022–24 Ida Ely Rubin Artist in Residence Jackson 2bears, also known as Tékeniyáhsen Ohkwá:ri (Kanien’kehà:ka).
Researchers present a soft robotic hand that combines vision, motor-based proprioception, and soft tactile sensors to identify, sort, and pack a stream of unknown objects. This multimodal sensing approach enables the soft robotic manipulator to estimate an object's size and stiffness and intelligently place objects without damage.
