Artificial intelligence is already making headlines in the new year with the box office success of the movie M3GAN. Along with a TikTok dance craze and lots of laughs, the over-the-top horror movie/dark comedy about an AI-powered robot that runs amok is also inspiring discussion about the growing presence and impact of artificial intelligence…
The Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have announced a new collaboration focused on critical infrastructure cybersecurity innovation through the launch of a joint institute, the Institute for Cybersecurity and Resilient Infrastructure Studies (ICARIS). The goal of the institute is…
Cats always land on their feet, but what makes them so agile? Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are studying cat locomotion to better understand how the spinal cord works to help humans with partial spinal cord damage walk and maintain balance. Using…
Major technology advances such as the development of hypersonic vehicles – and less dramatic enhancements to existing systems – require overcoming a multitude of complex and costly challenges, many of them interconnected. That requires making strategic decisions on where limited research and development resources should be invested to provide…
A small spacecraft assembled and tested at the Georgia Institute of Technology is on its way to the moon, where it will use lasers to search for surface water ice in lunar craters that are never warmed by light from the sun. The briefcase-sized Lunar Flashlight will be monitored and controlled over the next several months by a team of graduate…
Using 5G network technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and edge computing resources, a pilot project under development at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island will create an optimized refueling system designed to boost readiness for military aircraft operating there – and those stopping for fuel on their way to other locations. Getting fuel to…
A weather radar system purchased by the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia could lead to improved weather forecasting in North Georgia – and provide both expanded educational opportunities for students and enhanced research capabilities for the two institutions. “The radar would be used collaboratively to provide…
