Awards and HonorsRecent achievements by members of the MIT community. June 10, 2009 Mechanical Engineering awardsAwards given in MIT Mechanical Engineering for the academic year 2008-2009. June 3, 2009 Robotic therapy holds promise for cerebral palsyOver the past few years, MIT engineers have successfully tested robotic devices to help stroke patients learn to control their arms and legs. Now, they're building on that work to help children with brain injuries and disorders such as cerebral palsy. May 19, 2009 'Bother bots' win the dayEach of the 150 students in the 2.007 Design and Manufacturing class had to build one or more robots from a kit of provided parts, and the bots battled it out in a series of elimination matches that concluded Thursday night before a cheering crowd. May 8, 2009 MITEI awards third round of seed grantsThe MIT Energy Initiative's third round of seed grants for energy research will support innovative work on solar power, nuclear power, fuel cells, biofuels, and more. Several projects are inspired by natural systems such as gecko feet and bacterial antennas. May 5, 2009 Robots on a recycling rampageMore than 150 robots, in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and capabilities, will battle it out on May 6 and 7 in a contest to see which can collect the most soda cans and simulated bales of trash and return then to a recycling facility all in under a minute. May 1, 2009 DOE to establish two Energy Frontier Research Centers at MITMIT will be home to two of 46 new multimillion-dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs), the White House announced this week. May 13, 2009 Wearable blood pressure sensorHigh blood pressure is a common risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and aneurysms, so diagnosing and monitoring it are critically important. MIT engineers have built a wearable blood pressure sensor that can provide continuous, 24-hour monitoring. April 8, 2009 |
