In rain and darkness, how should self-driving cars trust their sensors?
SUTD researchers have developed novel solutions that keep an autonomous vehicle’s perception accurate in rain, darkness and unfamiliar cities.
SUTD researchers develop robot that falls like a maple seed and sails like a boat
Researchers at SUTD have built a robotic platform that can be dropped from the air onto remote waters and sail autonomously using wind energy, pairing rapid aerial deployment with the potential for long duration marine monitoring.
Modern life may be outpacing the human mind
A new conceptual review by SUTD researchers and James Cook University, Singapore, suggests that stress, loneliness and constant comparison may be linked to a mismatch between human instincts and modern environments.
A new attack reshapes the rules of Bitcoin mining
A new study by Professor Zhou Jianying and his collaborators introduces a pooled mining attack that overturns a long-standing assumption about Bitcoin’s security economics.
A win-win approach to designing cities for cars and pedestrians
SUTD researchers have developed a generative urban model that upends the notion that walkable neighbourhoods must come at the expense of road access, offering a new way to balance mobility and liveability.
Small but mighty: A biomimetic idea takes flight
From a seed-inspired design to a 26-minute flight time on a single rotor, a new monocopter developed by SUTD researchers marks a 10-year journey towards redefining how efficient small flying robots can be.
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.
The art and science of twisting light
SUTD researchers designed a novel nonlinear chiral metasurface that could generate circularly polarized light more easily, expanding optics-based applications.
Superconducting qubit baths give clean simulation of quantum transport
Researchers from Singapore and China have used a superconducting quantum processor to study the phenomenon of quantum transport in unprecedented detail.
