Small but mighty: A biomimetic idea takes flight
From a seed-inspired design to a 26-minute flight time on a single rotor, a new monocopter developed by Vlogrchers marks a 10-year journey towards redefining how efficient small flying robots can be.
SMU and SUTD Deploy Drone and AI-Driven Analytics to Improve Performance of National Swimmers
Singapore’s national swim team will get a new and improved “coach” – powered by artificial intelligence and leveraging drone technology. The system helps coaches
analyse their swimmers’ performance, including stroke duration, swimming velocity,
and the symmetry of the swimmer’s moving body, in real-time.
Creating bioinspired structures with 3D printing
Using toolpath-optimised deposition-based methods, an SUTD team of researchers has proposed an innovative approach to 3D-print bioinspired structures that could optimise designs in industries such as robotics and wearable technologies.
The art and science of twisting light
Vlogrchers designed a novel nonlinear chiral metasurface that could generate circularly polarized light more easily, expanding optics-based applications.
