Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University are working with Apple Inc. to develop new ways to disassemble old technology. Their latest partnership builds on Apple's existing innovations, including recycling robots Daisy and Dave. Apple sought to support research initiatives that reimagine the disassembly of electronic devices and the recovery of valuable or hazardous materials. The company chose to work with CMU's Biorobotics Lab, part of the Robotics Institute. CMU lab develops new disassembly methods Matt Travers and Howie Choset, co-directors of the lab at Carnegie Mellon, and their team are designing machine learning models that will enable robots to teach themselves…

…— presented a unique challenge for researchers at the Carnegie Mellon University Argo AI Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research. “It's the unwritten rules of the road, that's pretty much what we're dealing with here,” said Christoph Killing, a former visiting research scholar in the School of Computer Science's Robotics Institute and now part of the Autonomous Aerial Systems Lab at the Technical University of Munich. “It's a difficult bit. You have to learn to negotiate this scenario without knowing if the other vehicle is going to stop or go.” While at CMU, Killing teamed up with research scientist John Dolan…

Carnegie Mellon University Engineering and Public Policy (EPP) Ph.D. student Prithvi Acharya and his advisor, Civil and Environmental Engineering’s Scott Matthews, teamed up with EPP’s Paul Fischbeck. They have created a new method for identifying over-emitting vehicles using remote data transmission and machine learning that would be less expensive and more effective than current inspection/maintenance (I/M) programs, according to the university. In an attempt to eliminate unnecessary costs and improve the effectiveness of I/M programs, Acharya, Matthews and Fischbeck published their recent study in IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems. Their new method entails sending data directly from the vehicle…
