MIT has launched a new academia and industry partnership called the AI Hardware Program that aims to boost research and development.


“A sharp focus on AI hardware manufacturing, research, and design is critical to meet the demands of the world’s evolving devices, architectures, and systems,” says Anantha Chandrakasan, dean of the MIT School of Engineering, and Vannevar Bush Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

AI system inspects astronauts’ gloves for damage in real-time https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/04/ai-system-inspects-astronauts-gloves-for-damage-in-real-time Sun, 10 Apr 2022 12:03:14 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2022/04/ai-system-inspects-astronauts-gloves-for-damage-in-real-time

Microsoft and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HSE) are working with NASA scientists to develop an AI system for inspecting astronauts’ gloves.

Space is an unforgiving environment and equipment failures can be catastrophic. Gloves are particularly prone to wear and tear as they’re used for just about everything, including repairing equipment and installing new equipment.

Currently, astronauts will send back images of their gloves to Earth to be manually examined by NASA analysts.
