Last Monday, six teams of mechanical engineering seniors presented the product prototypes they developed this semester in class 2.s009, Explorations in Product Design, a special version of class 2.009 #STEMeducation MIT 2.009 | WILD! news.mit.edu/2020/students-…

What if every driver had the instinctive reflexes of a professional drift driver AND the calculated foresight of a supercomputer to avoid car crashes? Learn how TRI is amplifying driver capabilities here tri.global/news/evdc-supr… #innovation #MachineLearning #Automated

Inspired by Professional Drift Drivers TRI seeks to improve vehicle safety. Full story and video available here tri.global/news/evdc-supr… #Automated #EmergingTech #innovation #Toyota

Roger Goodell was asked a straightforward question about DeflateGate today. His meandering non-answer was entirely predictable. Just as predictable: Me writing this column. It's good to be back, baby. boston.cbslocal.com/2021/02/04/rog…

Brendan O’Neill, a graduate student in the joint MechE and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) program, has been named a 2021 Tillman Scholar by Pat Tillman Fnd. Brendan researches human-robot teaming to explore ocean and space environments. mitsha.re/GGiN50FyVLf

Congratulations to #MIT_WHOI Joint Program Graduate Student Brendan O'Neill! 🎉

What if every driver could control their vehicle under the most extreme circumstances - just like a pro? For the first time ever, Toyota Research Institute (TRI) has successfully programmed a vehicle to autonomously drift around obstacles on a closed track. 📺⤵️ youtube.com/watch?v=MfU5_g…

This week’s Science contains Editorial by Gang Chen. Wrongful prosecutions terrorize innocent people, debase American values, and threat national security. “I call on Congress to investigate the wrongdoings of the government.” science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Using our new Driver-in-the-Loop Motion Simulator, TRI is making strides in #AutonomousDriving. Modular & scalable, our simulation technology allows for unparalleled customization to optimize relationships between drivers and cars. Read about it here ⬇️ medium.com/toyotaresearch…

What a way to kick off the school year! Over 600 students, staff, and faculty enjoyed food trucks, ice cream, corn hole, and giant Jenga at the annual MechE Block Party 🎉 Photos: Tony Pulsone

John Hart has been named the new department head of MechE, effective July 1. Hart's research team, the MIT Mechanosynthesis Group, focuses on additive manufacturing, nanostructured materials, precision machine design, and automation. mitsha.re/eqTG50OqIpS 📸 M. Scott Brauer

Our dinner venue for tonight's IEEE ICRA VIP dinner - St Pauls Cathedral! With John Leonard #ICRA2023

Prof. Luca Carlone (Luca Carlone) is one of 11 faculty members in MIT School of Engineering to be granted tenure this year. Congratulations, Professor! ow.ly/LoAu50StLiu

In the latest episode of Robot Talk, Professor John Leonard chatted with Dr. Claire Asher about autonomous navigation for underwater vehicles and self-driving cars. 🎧Listen Now: mitsha.re/BRA950TxiKy

For roboticists, one challenge towers above the others: there isn’t enough data. To accelerate the deployment of intelligent robots in the real world, MIT CSAIL’s "LucidSim" uses genAI & physics engines to create diverse & realistic virtual training grounds for robots. W/o any

We (authors and editors) worked very hard to finalize Part III of the SLAM Handbook before #ICRA2025. It is available for public comment, link below. Please keep flagging issues coming as we work towards finalizing the draft for the Cambridge UP print version. #SLAMHandbook
