Future Innovations

As technology increasingly integrates complex soundscapes into virtual spaces, understanding how humans perceive directional audio becomes vital. This need is bolstered by the rise of immersive media, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality […]

A new imaging technique developed by MIT researchers could enable quality-control robots in a warehouse to peer through a cardboard shipping box and see that the handle of a mug buried under packing peanuts is […]

Since their discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, X-rays have become a staple of modern medical care, from imaging teeth and broken bones to screening for the early signs of breast cancer.This post was originally […]

A research team at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), has developed a novel dry adhesive technology that allows everything from microscale electronic components to common household materials to be easily attached and detached.This […]

Traditional military training often relies on standardized methods, which has limited the provision of optimized training tailored to individual combatants’ characteristics or specific combat situations. To address this, a research team has developed an e-textile […]

Inspired by how nature blends toughness and flexibility, such as the rigid structure of bone surrounded by pliable cartilage, all with elegant and precise geometric properties, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have […]

Scientists have revealed that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), a type of deep learning algorithm, demonstrate superior performance compared to conventional non-machine learning approaches when used to detect lies and deception.This post was originally published on […]

Imagine a future in which people with disabilities can walk on their own, thanks to robotic legs. A new project from Northern Arizona University is accelerating that future with an open-source robotic exoskeleton.This post was […]

Researchers at DTU have developed a new kind of electronic material that behaves almost exactly like human skin. The substance could be useful in soft robotics, medicine, and health care.This post was originally published on […]

When Armando Ernesto Chau straps on the futuristic smart glasses that a young Mozambican robotics student is developing in the family dining room, he has a vision of a life less confined to his modest […]
