MIT researchers have developed a compact lidar chip based on silicon photonics that offers a wide field of view and low interference without any moving parts. This technology has the potential to significantly enhance sensors for autonomous vehicles and other complex applications.
Engineers from MIT and Stanford have developed a robot with flexible tentacles capable of delicately grasping and moving both fragile and heavy objects. This new system is particularly promising for assisting in patient care and could also be applied in other fields.
MIT researchers have developed a non-invasive scanner that can measure blood glucose levels without the need for needles, using infrared light. This new technology has already demonstrated high accuracy and could make blood sugar monitoring much more comfortable for people with diabetes in the future.
