In this Bloomberg radio segment, Prof. Daniela Rus discusses her work developing a fleet of autonomous 3-D printed boats that could not only transport goods and people, but also self-assemble into bridges and other structures. Rus explains that she is, “very excited about the idea of taking the autonomy technologies we have in driverless cars and applying them to other vehicles.”
STAT reporters Gideon Gil and Matthew Orr describe a “pioneering” surgical technique from researchers at MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital that allows prosthetics to operate like human limbs. Prof. Hugh Herr, “himself a rock climber who lost both his legs to frostbite as a teen, describes his goal as nothing short of eliminating disability."
USA Today reporter Marco della Cava writes that a study by MIT researchers shows drivers typically use Tesla’s Autopilot software for highway driving. Della Cava writes that Research Engineer Bryan Reimer underscored that the findings show there is a need for, “an increase in driver education on the part of stakeholders such as automakers, dealers and perhaps even licensing authorities.”
