Highlights
SMU and SUTD Deploy Drone and AI-Driven Analytics to Improve Performance of National Swimmers
Singapore’s national swim team will get a new and improved “coach” – powered by artificial intelligence and leveraging drone technology. The system helps coaches
analyse their swimmers’ performance, including stroke duration, swimming velocity,
and the symmetry of the swimmer’s moving body, in real-time.
Creating bioinspired structures with 3D printing
Using toolpath-optimised deposition-based methods, an SUTD team of researchers has proposed an innovative approach to 3D-print bioinspired structures that could optimise designs in industries such as robotics and wearable technologies.
SUTD Staff and Students Work Together With Smart AI-Powered Robots in Beach Clean-Up
Four smart robots from SUTD made their way to Pasir Ris Park today to help their human teammates clean the beach – together with Guest-of-Honour, Mr Baey Yam Keng, Senior Parliamentary Secretary (SPS) for the Minister of Sustainability and the Environment as well as the Ministry of Transport, and the SUTD community comprising students, faculty and staff.
An innovative no-code prototype to automate design structure matrix generation
An SUTD researcher has developed a promising automated workflow that leverages a large language model to generate a design structure matrix in less than five minutes.
SUTD faculty recognised globally for exceptional research in Clarivate’s Highly Cited Researchers 2024
SUTD’s Associate Provost for Research, Professor Chua Chee Kai, and Assistant Professor Xiong Zehui are among the 108 awardees from Singapore on Clarivate’s 2024 list of Highly Cited Researchers.
Capstone project showcased as one of 100 innovations at Prototypes for Humanity
The Multi-Agent Search and Rescue Drones (MASNRD) is a human-drone collaboration framework designed to locate victims in urban natural disasters using mobile device signals. It is one of 100 projects shortlisted for the showcase.
More than a quarter of SUTD faculty ranked top 2% of world’s best scientists for 2023
The prestigious list, as compiled by Stanford University, is based on the bibliometric information in the Scopus database and includes more than 220,000 researchers from across the globe, classified into 22 scientific fields and 174 subfields.
A photonics breakthrough: Printing 3D photonic crystals that completely block light
A multi-institutional research team led by SUTD has developed a novel method that uses titanium resin to fabricate high-resolution 3D photonic crystals with a complete photonic bandgap in the visible range—a feat that has eluded scientists for decades.
Transformative FiBa Soft Actuators Pave the Way for Future Soft Robotics
Lightweight, untethered soft robots capable of crawling, climbing, perching, and flying developed by researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design, National University of Singapore and Queensland University of Technology.
Designing the ideal soft gripper for diverse functionalities
SUTD researchers have developed an exceptionally versatile soft gripper that can easily adapt to various food manipulation scenarios. This innovative design earned them the grand prize at the IEEE RoboSoft Manipulation Competition for two consecutive years (2022 and 2023), and more recently, the Best Innovation Award at the Shape Morphing Workshop during the 2024 IEEE RoboSoft conference.
