Self-Driving Cars That Recognize Free Space Can Better Detect Objects
PITTSBURGH, June 16, 2020 — Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) have demonstrated that they can significantly improve detection accuracy in self-driving cars by helping the vehicle recognize what it does not see. Self-driving vehicles use 3D data from lidar to represent objects as a point cloud and then try to match those point clouds to a library of 3D representations of objects. The problem with that, according to Peiyn Hu, a Ph.D. student in CMU’s Robotics Institute, is that the 3D data from the
Researchers Call for Robots to Fight COVID-19
PITTSBURGH, March 23, 2020 — Robots conceivably could perform such tasks as disinfecting surfaces, taking temperatures of people in public areas and at ports of entry, providing social support for quarantined patients, collecting nasal and throat samples for testing, and...
Superresolution Microscopy Platform Lets Researchers 'Step Inside' Data
SEATTLE, June 24, 2019 — A team from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason (BRI) is working to combine two techniques to create a method, via a platform called ExMicroVR, that will allow researchers to “step inside”...
NIH Names Carnegie Mellon’s Zhao Top New Innovator
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 20, 2018 — Yongxin (Leon) Zhao, assistant professor of biological sciences at Carnegie Mellon University, has received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director’s New Innovator Award. The award is part of the National Institutes of Health’s High-Risk,...
Carnegie Mellon Team Enters DARPA Autonomous Robotics Competition
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12, 2018 — A team from Carnegie Mellon University will compete in the systems track of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA’s) Subterranean Challenge, a multiyear robotics competition with a $2 million prize in which robots will...
New Robot Comes to Its Senses
Jun 14, 2016 — Robot design is often anthropocentric — the artificial agents have limbs, features and form factors analagous to our own. Surely the human body is a well-designed system, but now researchers are improving robot sensitivity by moving beyond the...
New Scale Using Small Business Grant for Hexapod
VICTOR, N.Y., April 21, 2016 — New Scale Technologies Inc. is developing the world’s smallest commercial hexapod under a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant. Awarded by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health, the grant funds development...
Fiber Sensors Improve Robot Touch Sensitivity
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 29, 2015 — Fiber optic sensors could give robots the sensitivity needed to handle delicate objects and work safely alongside humans. A newly developed three-fingered soft robotic hand features 14 embedded fiber optic strain sensors that give it the ability to...
Photonics to Drive Investment Boost in Advanced Manufacturing
BELLINGHAM, Wash., July 25, 2012 — Photonics technologies are already key enablers of advanced manufacturing, and new initiatives to boost the US’s capabilities in that area will be a good use of the country’s photonics R&D, leaders of SPIE, the international society...
Optical sensors let gadgets point their own way
PITTSBURGH – With apologies to William Shakespeare, all the world’s a pad and all devices merely mice. At least, that could be the case if researchers Chris Harrison and professor Scott E. Hudson of the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie...
Mars Tech Images Inauguration
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4, 2009 -- Using the same NASA technology that Mars rovers routinely use to image the Red Planet, photographer David Bergman created an unprecedented 1474-megapixel panoramic photo of President Barack Obama's inauguration that can be explored online....
