Reducing AI’s carbon footprint
MIT researchers have developed an automated AI system for training and running certain neural networks that also cuts down the pounds of carbon emissions involved.
Method for easier scaling of quantum computing devices developed
An MIT research team has developed a method to “recruit” neighboring quantum bits that may help researchers scale up quantum computing devices.
Doing machine learning the right way
MIT Professor Aleksander Madry strives to build machine-learning models that are more reliable, understandable and robust.
Breadboards integrated onto physical products
MIT researchers have invented a way to integrate “breadboards” — flat platforms used for electronics prototyping to quickly test circuit functions and user interactions with products such as smart devices and flexible electronics.
Cryptographic ID tag developed to stop supply chain counterfeiting
MIT researchers have invented a cryptographic ID tag that’s small enough to fit on virtually any product and verify its authenticity, which could help stop supply chain counterfeiting.
Soft robotic arm uses flexible sensors to understand its position
MIT researchers have developed flexible sensors and an artificial intelligence model that tell deformable robots how their bodies are positioned in a 3D environment.
Machine-learning tool predicts code’s speed on computer chips
MIT researchers have invented a machine-learning tool called Ithemal, which predicts how fast computer chips will execute code from various applications.
Helping machines perceive some laws of physics
MIT researchers have designed a model that demonstrates an understanding of some basic “intuitive physics” about how objects should behave, which could improve artificial intelligence.
Design and control robots with stretchy, flexible bodies
MIT researchers have found a way top optimize soft robots to perform specific tasks with a new model that make their bodies flexible.
Model developed to help autonomous vehicles navigate traffic safely
MIT and Toyota researchers have designed a model designed to help autonomous vehicles determine when it’s safe to merge into traffic when the view is obstructed.
