Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have developed a monolithically 3D printed haptic device that provides skin pressure, linear and rotational shear, and vibration feedback.
Ultrasound technology is a safe, high-resolution, and cost-efficient tool for imaging. Other modalities, such as MRI or CT, may require the use of anesthesia. This makes it difficult to image pediatric patients and patients sensitive to anesthesia.
Researchers at Stanford University, UCSB and MIT have invented a novel video compression pipeline, called Txt2Vid, which substantially reduces data transmission rates by compressing webcam videos ("talking-head videos") to a text transcript.
Stanford University researchers have developed a system that achieves atmospheric water harvesting with high specific productivity, defined as the rate of water collected per mass of absorbent material.
Differential Phase Contrast (DPC) X-ray imaging measures both absorption and index of refraction of materials being imaged. This technique has several advantages compared to traditional absorption-only X-ray imaging.
Stanford inventors have developed a mechanical differential that is cable-actuated for controlling a 2 degree-of-freedom (DoF) of mobility in a robotic joint.
Pedestrian movement prediction is a critical aspect of driver-assistance and autonomous cars. This requires predicting both human poses and human trajectories based on keypoints in an egocentric setting.
One of the largest challenges for soft robotics is obtaining adequate feedback control while forming dexterous movements. Here Stanford researchers have developed a patterning technique using a UV laser on metalized plastic film.
Wastewater treatment facilities commonly add chlorine or chloramines at the end of treatment as a final disinfectant. While effective, any wastewater must be dechlorinated before release to prevent killing aquatic organisms.
A Stanford bioengineering researcher developed an optical sensor based muscle and body motion tracking system for use with prosthetics and wearable human machine interfaces.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a probe, NIRDye812, which improves contrast between healthy and diseased tissues for fluorescence-guided cancer surgery applications.
