Researchers at Stanford have developed a method for instructing the steering system of an autonomous vehicle to perform a lateral steering action, e.g., when changing lanes or repositioning within a lane.
Researchers at Stanford have advanced the concept of an "Anticipatory Control Interface" that informs the driver of a partially automated vehicle of its lateral trajectory plan.
Stanford researchers at the Cutkosky Lab have developed a fast process for directly machining into metal to create wedge-shaped geometries. The machined mold is then used to cast gecko-inspired adhesives multiple times without damaging the mold.
Stanford researchers have developed a high-performance, ultrafast, thermoresponsive polymer that can act as a circuit breaker to prevent fires in next-generation high-energy-density batteries by rapidly and reversibly turning off when overheated.
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a new coating design which makes lithium metal batteries stable and promising for further development.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have designed a real-time screening device system for predicting risk of concussion resulting from head impacts.
Stanford researchers at the Salisbury Lab have prototyped a wearable, articulated robotic device that can be attached to a person at the hip or other location to augment human task productivity. This mechanical "third arm" has many uses such as assisting abled users (e.g.
Engineers in Prof. Mark Cutkosky's laboratory have patented a compact, intuitive, haptic vehicle feedback system that communicates multi-dimensional information to drivers through the grip of the steering wheel.
Engineers in Prof. Mark Cutkosky's laboratory have developed patented electrostrictive elements that can support high loads over a long lifetime when used as variable suspension systems for robots, autonomous vehicles or prosthetics.
Stanford researchers have patented a hardware and software system designed for automated assisted steering that combines automated and human vehicle control within driving lanes.
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have combined graphene with metals and other inorganic elements to create a variety of hybrid materials that can be used for high performance electrocatalytic or electrochemical devices such as batteries and fuel cells.
