Reading Time: 3 minutes Researchers from MIT CSAIL and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions are working on a project called the RoBoat, an autonomous boat system that can be used as water taxis, or even be joined together to create floating structures and bridges. Imagine being able to start your morning off by hopping on a driver-less water […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes BMW and MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab have collaborated to develop “liquid printed pneumatics”, the first reported 3D printed inflatable material that can morph from one state to another and expand into any shape or function. Just around two years ago, the BMW Design Department and MIT’s Self-Assembly Laboratory began a cross-disciplinary study with the mutual goal to push the […]

Reading Time: 3 minutes Students from MIT have created a prototype 3D printed device, AlterEgo, that can recognize the words you mouth when silently talking to yourself and interpret them as commands. Step aside Alexa, you’ve got some company. A computer interface devised by researchers at MIT can transcribe words that the user verbalizes internally but doesn’t actually speak […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes With the expiration of key patents, availability of advanced digital modeling software, and improved hardware, additive manufacturing is on the verge of radically changing how products are designed, made and maintained. But a lack of understanding of its fundamental principles, applications, and business implications is proving to be a barrier to broader adoption. To help professionals […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes With the Greenland shark finally caught on video for the very first time, scientists and engineers are discussing the limitations of current marine monitoring technology. One significant advance comes from the CSAIL team at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT): SoFi, the robotic fish.

Reading Time: < 1 minute MIT researchers have unveiled inFORM, a mind-bending, shape-shifting 3D installation that allows users to virtually “interact with digital information by rendering it in three dimensions.” The display itself is comprised of a grid of ‘pins,’ or long square-topped rods, that can be quickly moved up and down to form 3D shapes. inFORM – Interacting With […]
