Delivery Drones and Rotor-Powered Rideshares Sound Great—and Noisy
Combining expertise in mechanical engineering, fluid mechanics, and urban hydrology, BU researchers with NASA funding will lead a multimillion-dollar, multi-institution project to help develop quieter vertical lift air vehicles
Learning From Animal Behaviors to Inform Control Systems
Research by Distinguished Professor of Engineering John Bailleul questions how animals operate and how you might use animal behaviors to design control systems. By Margo Stanton You may be familiar with the term “blind as a bat”, which is used to describe someone who has poor eyesight. However, recent research on animal behavior by CISE […]

Sabelhaus Research: Advancing the Safety of Soft Robots for Human Interactions
The emergence of soft robots will enable safe human interactions which will allow robots to assist in the industrial, medical, automotive and space industries. College of Engineering Professor Andrew Sabelhaus (ME, SE), has been working on making soft robots safer to improve these human interaction tasks, in areas such as medicine, as well as explore difficult or dangerous locations. His work will help improve the design of many other soft robots.
Could a Computer Diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia?
Researchers at Boston University have developed a new tool that could automate the process and, eventually, allow it to move online. Their machine learning–powered computational model can detect cognitive impairment from audio recordings of neuropsychological tests—no in-person appointment needed.
Pregnancy Models Give Birth To New Health Insights
Having a baby is a life-changing decision that often requires a great deal of time and energy to ensure a positive outcome. But the cost of assisted reproductive technologies like artificial insemination or in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the emotional impacts of infertility can be a lot to bear. To try to improve the chances of […]
