MIT CSAIL researchers are joining the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) new Center for Human and Robot Co-Adaptation, where they’ll tackle a crucial question: What happens when assistive robots actually work with us?
RNA vaccines, which have been proven effective against Covid-19, are now being developed for many other diseases, including cancer. One of the drawbacks to these vaccines is that they require ultracold storage, but researchers from MIT have found a promising way to overcome that limitation.
Researchers from the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea, in collaboration with researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (MIT CSAIL), have developed “EMSWalker,” a new VR locomotion system that provides walking-related bodily sensations while the user remains seated.
Researchers created a new technique that accurately and rapidly matches X-rays captured during surgery with a patient’s preoperative 3D medical scan. This method could make it easier for clinicians to precisely pilot minimally invasive surgical tools, leading to faster and safer procedures.
