MIT announces its Initiative for New Manufacturing (INM), which aims to ignite job creation and reinvigorate U.S. industrial production with leading-edge technologies. President Sally Kornbluth says: “Helping America build a future of new manufacturing is a perfect job for MIT.” MechE Department Head John Hart is one of the INM's three faculty co-directors.
In addition to training future players, the technology could expand the capabilities of other humanoid robots, such as for search and rescue.
MechE spinoff company provides farmers with a new system, which could significantly cut their use of pesticides and fertilizers, saving money and reducing runoff.
