Mizzou Engineer working to improve methods to detect geological, manmade underground features
A Mizzou Engineer is working with Marshall University in West Virginia to improve methods to identify geological and manmade features dozens of feet below the surface.
Mizzou Engineer studies perceptions of autonomous transportation
Before the public will fully embrace autonomous mobility services, companies need to increase people’s trust in the technology, a research team has found.
Clinical trial testing automatic oxygen control device for premature infants
Eric Stann / MU News Bureau The consequences are dire for the health of a premature baby — too much oxygen can cause blindness, and too little oxygen can cause brain damage and other negative health effects. Some premature babies need the help of life-saving machines in a neonatal intensive care unit, or NICU, to…
Augmented reality system uses GPS to improve user experience
Mizzou Engineers have developed a more advanced augmented reality system that uses indoor GPS tracking to better position objects with the user’s physical space.
Mizzou Engineering team discovers method to control sound waves in the fourth dimension
Using a type of material that conducts electricity on the edges while insulating the inside, a Mizzou Engineering team has discovered a way to control sound waves beyond…
Mizzou Engineers to return to G-FORCE ONE to study condensation in zero-gravity environment
A Mizzou Engineering team has received funding from NASA to conduct research around water condensation within a zero-gravity environment.
Research team uses New York City taxi data, machine learning to predict demand for air taxi services
Researchers studied the potential demand for air taxi services in New York City.
Student team devises way to control robotic arm using hand gestures
A Mizzou Engineering team has devised a way to control a robot just by moving your hands. What makes the work especially unique is that researchers only used one pair of electrodes on each of a person’s arms to send signals that moved a robotic arm, said Richard Byfield, a third-year PhD student in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department.
Researchers training machines to recognize vocal fatigue
Diagnosing vocal fatigue requires an in-person consultation. But someday, a wearable device or smart app could detect vocal fatigue early and help sufferers prevent further problems.
Tracking traffic crashes: Researcher, Missouri State Highway Patrol working to understand where, when accidents happen
In addition to potential injuries and property damage, traffic crashes can cause a lot of disruptions from making people late to work to delaying package delivery. A Mizzou Engineer is working with the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) to better understand when and where traffic accidents happen in hopes of minimizing those disruptions.
