Robots are becoming increasingly adept at handling complex household tasks, from cleaning messes to serving meals. However, their ability to handle unexpected disturbances or difficulties during these tasks has been a challenge. Common scenarios like a nudge or a slight mistake that deviates the robot from its expected path can cause the robot to restart…
A 2022 report from the International Air Transport Association revealed that the odds of dying in a plane crash are extremely low, with an industry fatality risk of 0.11. This implies that a person would need to fly daily for over 25,000 years to have a 100% chance of experiencing a fatal accident, underscoring why…
In 2019, after years of studying aviation and aerospace engineering, Hector (Haofeng) Xu decided to learn how to fly helicopters. While pursuing his PhD in MIT’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Xu experienced the inherent risks of flying small aircrafts firsthand and was inspired to make helicopter flights safer. In 2021, he established his company…
