| | | Inside autonomous warehouses, even small traffic jams or minor collisions can snowball into massive slowdowns. Now, MIT researchers have developed a system that keeps a fleet of robots moving smoothly. It decides which bots should get the right of way at every moment, avoiding congestion and increasing throughput. |

|
| MIT researchers created an ultrasound wristband that can transmit a user's motions to a robotic hand or a virtual environment. "Volunteers wearing the device could direct the robotic hand to grab tennis balls, make hand signs, and even play notes on a piano. That same technique can also be applied to digital environments, which means future wearers could control a phone screen without ever touching it, or interact with virtual reality in ways that feel more immersive." |

| | | | In the latest episode of the Curiosity Unbounded podcast, MIT President Sally Kornbluth speaks with Song Han, an associate professor in electrical engineering and computer science, whose research focuses on efficient AI computing. The two discuss Han's start with AI model efficiency, how model compression is like pruning trees, and the benefits of lighter models. |
