Researchers at MIT say they have developed a tiny sensor-carrying device that can be blown by the wind as it tumbles toward the ground, offering potential for wireless sensors that can monitor how temperature, humidity or other environmental conditions vary across large swaths of land, such as farms or forests.

To monitor and navigate real-world environments, machines and robots should be able to gather images and measurements under different background lighting conditions. In recent years, engineers worldwide have thus been trying to develop increasingly advanced sensors, which could be integrated within robots, surveillance systems, or other technologies […]

Gavin Kenneally, grew up inspired by Professor Full, who assisted him further during his undergraduate studies and connected him with his PhD advisor. After PhD, he co-founded Ghost Robotics where his team created robot dogs to patrol the U.S. border.

He describes: “What differentiates our technology is […]
