This paper presents underwater 3D capture using a com- mercial depth camera. Previous underwater capture sys- tems use ordinary cameras, and it is well-known that a cali- bration procedure is needed to handle refraction. The same is true for a depth camera being […]
This design class from Haas School of Business allows students to learn innovation skills and practices. This is a learn-by-doing lab; students will be formed into a team and will have an opportunity to solve a problem with human-centered design thinking process, guided under design/business mentors. Students will be able to […]
The Namib Desert, one of the driest regions in the world, gets less than half an inch of rain per year. But early in the morning, a light fog drifts over the desert, offering the plants and animals living in that harsh environment their only chance for a life-sustaining drink. When […]
Biomimetic skin-like materials, capable of adapting shapes to variable environments and sensing external stimuli, are of great significance in a wide range of applications, including artificial intelligence, soft robotics, and smart wearable devices. However, such highly sophisticated intelligence has been mainly found in natural creatures while rarely realized in artificial materials. […]
Researchers from Brown University developed a new wing design for small drones that’s inspired by the wings of birds and insects. The new wing allows small drones to fly more efficiently and makes them more “robust to atmospheric turbulence.” The bio-inspired wing, dubbed as the “Separated Flow Airfoil,” reduces the effects […]
Starting from biological systems, we review the interest of active perception for object recognition in an autonomous system. Foveated vision and control of the eye saccade introduce strong benefits related to the differentiation of a ‘what’ pathway recognizing some local parts in the image and a ‘where’ […]
The lecture video investigating the denticles on whale fins has displayed the possible uses of denticles to increase the aerodynamics of engineering systems that move through fluids. This study parallels the study on whale denticles with sharks and an algorithmic driven design process to discover the superior […]
Nearly 12 million wounds are treated in emergency departments throughout the United States every year. The limitations of current treatments for complex, full-thickness wounds are the driving force for the development of new wound treatment devices that result in faster healing of both dermal and epidermal tissue. […]
This design course is about advanced study in the fields of innovation and design that will address current and emerging issues. Topics will vary with each offering and will be announced at the beginning of each term. For every class, students get a five minute hands-on innovation challenge. There’s no case […]
