At the same time that America’s ability to manufacture and build have atrophied, it’s advantage in so-called “Deep Technologies” has exploded. Technology Briefing Robots are becoming more agile and wearable electronics' traditional silicon-based sensors won’t make the cut in many applications. Technology Briefing Robotic arms handle repetitive and precision movements. This change relieves operators of mundane work. They must adjust to the new work environment. Technology Briefing Researchers have created a potential alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastic made from carbon dioxide, plus lignin, a component of wood. Technology Briefing Imagine a portable 3D printer you could hold in your palm. The tiny device could enable a user to rapidly create customized, low-cost objects on the go. Technology Briefing A team has developed a wearable, stretchy patch about the size of a BandAid, which sticks to your skin and picks up tiny signals coming from human muscles. Technology Briefing Research represents a step toward implementation of robotic exoskeletons designed to help humans with walking and physically demanding work. Technology Briefing In a new study, researchers identify a potentially game-changing remedy: seamlessly implementing 3D integration with 2D materials. Technology Briefing Experts believe robots will be able to cost-effectively perform a large share of physical tasks which, until now, have been performed only by humans. Technology Briefing MIT engineers are working to give robots a bit of “common sense” when faced with situations that push them off their trained paths. Technology Briefing |
