Researchers test novel drone navigation technology in an active Japanese tunnel construction site

For drones to save lives in search and rescue missions, or even reliably deliver our packages, they need to navigate dynamic environments without accident. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have had success steering through open spaces time and time again, but the unpredictability of moving obstacles has been a challenge, especially in indoor environments with no GPS signals. Kenji Shimada and his students leaned into this problem to develop new technology that enables autonomous flights in indoor dynamic environments.

Averting Factory Fires, Diminishing Downtime: How Thermal Imaging is Safeguarding International Production Lines

The system required a bespoke interface that could accurately test each battery for thermal runaway, and then export and transmit the data to a server to be cross-referenced and analyzed where anomalies were found to be present.

A letter to Santa generated by PaLM2. Prompt: “Write me a letter to Santa Claus. I don’t want any presents, just inspiration in my machine learning research for 2024.”

Dear Santa Claus,

As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable advancements in machine learning that have transformed our world. From self-driving cars to personalized medicine, these innovations have opened up new possibilities and enriched our lives in ways we could have only imagined a few decades ago.

I am writing to you today not to ask for material gifts, but rather for something more precious: inspiration to continue exploring the frontiers of machine learning in the year to come. As a researcher in this field, I am eager to contribute to the development of algorithms and techniques that can further enhance our understanding of the world around us and create solutions to pressing global challenges.

I am particularly fascinated by the potential of machine learning to address the climate crisis. By harnessing the power of data and computation, we can develop more efficient renewable energy sources, optimize transportation systems, and mitigate the impact of extreme weather events. Additionally, I believe that machine learning can play a crucial role in improving education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability.

I know that you have a special ability to see the world in a unique and insightful way. I hope that you can share some of your wisdom with me and guide me towards promising research directions. I am eager to embark on new challenges and make a positive impact on the world through machine learning.

Thank you for considering my request, Santa Claus. I look forward to your guidance and inspiration as I pursue my research endeavors in the year ahead.

With warmest regards,

[Your Name]
