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.
Cybersecurity tool uses machine learning, honeypots to stop attacks
Purdue University researchers have developed a cybersecurity tool designed to stop cyber attacks using supervised machine learning, unsupervised machine learning and rule-based learning
Collaboration needed to redesign manufacturing network
The manufacturing industry is adopting methodologies that will help make operations faster and more efficient than ever before, but companies need to collaborate and collect as much data as possible.
Leveraging augmented reality wearables on the plant floor
Augmented reality (AR) wearable technology can provide workers and companies real-time information about conditions on the plant floor to make everyone safer.
Robotic offline programming increases manufacturing production
Robotic offline programming (OLP) reduces initial setup time, programming time, and changeover and alteration time for manufacturers.
University receives grant to construct high-performance computing cluster
Clarkson University received an NSF grant to construct a new high-performance computing cluster to support data and computationally intensive projects.
Make digital twins easier to implement for manufacturing industries
