Human-machine teaming dives underwater

Researchers are developing hardware and algorithms to improve collaboration between divers and autonomous underwater vehicles engaged in maritime missions.

New technique makes AI models leaner and faster while they’re still learning

Researchers use control theory to shed unnecessary complexity from AI models during training, cutting compute costs without sacrificing performance.

Sixteen new START.nano companies are developing hard-tech solutions with the support of MIT.nano

Startup accelerator program grows to over 30 companies, almost half of them with MIT pedigrees.

Helping data centers deliver higher performance with less hardware

Researchers developed a system that intelligently balances workloads to improve the efficiency of flash storage hardware in a data center.

Preview tool helps makers visualize 3D-printed objects

By quickly generating aesthetically accurate previews of fabricated objects, the VisiPrint system could make prototyping faster and less wasteful.

Seeing sounds

Mariano Salcedo, a master’s student in the new Music Technology and Computation Graduate Program, is designing an AI to visualize and express music and other sounds.

AI system learns to keep warehouse robot traffic running smoothly

This new approach adapts to decide which robots should get the right of way at every moment, avoiding congestion and increasing throughput.

Augmenting citizen science with computer vision for fish monitoring

MIT Sea Grant works with the Woodwell Climate Research Center and other collaborators to demonstrate a deep learning-based system for fish monitoring.

A better method for identifying overconfident large language models

This new metric for measuring uncertainty could flag hallucinations and help users know whether to trust an AI model.

Generative AI improves a wireless vision system that sees through obstructions

With this new technique, a robot could more accurately detect hidden objects or understand an indoor scene using reflected Wi-Fi signals.
