Following on the launch of its first software developer program ( earlier post ), Ford is now turning its attention to the growing trend in hardware hacking by transforming vehicles into an experimental development environment. The read-only system is designed to keep everything isolated from the vehicle control systems.

ARPA-E’s first solicitation awarded $151 million to 37 projects aimed at transformational innovations in energy storage, biofuels, carbon capture, renewable power, building efficiency, vehicles, and other areas. The critical barrier to wider deployment of electric vehicles is the high cost and low energy of today’s batteries.

Autonomous vehicles relying on light-based image sensors often struggle to see through conditions such as fog. MIT researchers have now developed a sub-terahertz-radiation receiving system that could help steer driverless cars when traditional methods fail. With our design, there’s essentially no boundary for scalability.

Hundreds of billions of miles of human driving data may be needed to develop safe and reliable autonomous vehicles. Through an open-source approach to software tools, TRI is creating a user consortium and hopes to stimulate more rapid adoption of blockchain by other companies developing autonomous vehicles and providing mobility services.

A single torus wheel is made of an elastic elongated coil spring in which the two ends of the coil connected each other and is driven by a piezoelectric actuator (stator) that can generate 2-degrees-of-freedom (axial and angular) motions. We propose a palm-sized omnidirectional mobile robot with two torus wheels. Paper ] Thanks, Ayato!
