Visual SLAM is now a trending approach in autonomous mobile robot development. Mobile robot is the one capable of transporting itself from place to place. For example, the first mobile robot emerged as a ...

3D body scanning lends itself to a wide variety of fields. Healthcare professionals can use body scans to make 3D printed prosthetics, animation studios can use body scans for highly-accurate portraits, ...

Adaptive optics is a technology to compensate for distortions in an imaging system. It typically uses a deformable mirror, that deforms to adjust for incoming distortion as the image is taken. It has been ...

How research in photodynamic therapy may lead to new treatments of deadly diseases like cancer. Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is most often associated with asbestos exposure.  Despite efforts of ...

Autonomous vehicles are a scientific wonder that optics is turning into a reality. On top of being highly convenient, autonomy for vehicles can potentially reduce rates of collision. This article covers ...

The manufacturing industry has come a long way from Ford’s car plants that spurred innovation in the U.S. The assembly line was a revolutionary tactic for efficiency, but modern manufacturing is much more ...

Previously, we discussed a technique for producing high resolution maps of neural activity in the brain called Optical Recording of Intrinsic Signal, or ORIS.  Conventional methods for performing ORIS ...

A team of researchers from the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has developed improved techniques for large-scale nanohole fabrication. Importantly, these nanoholes are used in ...

Developers at Briteseed, a biotechnology company in Illinois, devised a handheld prototype that they say will make it significantly easier for surgeons to locate blood vessels during minimally invasive ...

Researchers from around the world came together to develop a low-cost smartphone confocal microscope for imaging human skin in vivo. The team’s main concern: disease diagnosis in low- and middle-income ...
