For most of robotics history, teaching a machine a new skill meant one of two expensive things: an expert writing code line by line, or thousands of human demonstrations for a single task. Figure AI is betting on a third path. Its AI system, Helix, aims to let a humanoid robot hear a plain-language request, look at the scene in front of it, and work out the motions on its own. In under two years, Helix has gone from controlling a robot's arms and fingers to steering its entire body through home...

Augmented Reality Navigation Systems
When GPS was invented in 1978 and made available to the public in the following decade, navigation changed profoundly. As it guides automobiles, airplanes, and ships at sea, GPS has had a tremendous impact on how we get around. However, there are still challenges to be overcome. How can augmented reality be used to guide users in indoor and outdoor environments?
Augmented reality allows for powerful and intuitive solutions in navigation. By showing virtual guides in physical space through th...

Ali Khademhosseini and Team of Researchers at Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) in California have developed smart contact lenses that can diagnose cancer from tears
Scientists from the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a contact lens that can capture and detect exosomes, nanometer-sized vesicles found in bodily secretions which have the potential for being diagnostic cancer biomarkers. The lens was designed with microchambers bound to antibodies that can capture exosomes found in tears. This antibody- conjugated signaling microchamber contact lens (ABSM-CL) can be stained for detection with nanoparticle-tagged specific anti...

MIT engineers develop stickers that can see inside the body. New stamp-sized ultrasound adhesives produce clear images of heart, lungs, and other internal organs.
Ultrasound imaging is a safe and noninvasive window into the body’s workings, providing clinicians with live images of a patient’s internal organs. To capture these images, trained technicians manipulate ultrasound wands and probes to direct sound waves into the body. These waves reflect back out to produce high-resolution images of a patient’s heart, lungs, and other deep organs.
Currently, ultrasound imaging requires bulky and specialized equipment available only in hospitals and doctor’s ...
