OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discusses the future of generative AI Michigan Engineering 2024-10-16 | On September 12 2024, Sam Altman, Chief Executive Officer of OpenAI, participated in a fireside chat for University of Michigans students, faculty and staff. The ChatGPT developer head spoke about the future of AI and its implications for education, as well as the challenges and opportunities presented by rapid technological advancements. Altman also shared insights into OpenAI's new reasoning model, Strawberry, a model he describes as capable of complex reasoning and problem-solving.“You all are going to create things that astonish us. The story of human history is that we build better tools, and then people do even more amazing stuff with them, and they themselves, you know, add their layer of scaffolding. And we’re on this steadily increasing curve of possibility.”Read more here:https://news.engin.umich.edu/2024/09/you-all-are-going-to-create-things-that-astonish-us/------Watch more videos from Michigan Engineering and subscribe: @MichiganEngineering The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.

Warmilu and their non-electric infant warming blankets for premature babies Michigan Engineering 2024-09-26 | Born a pre-mature baby, Grace Hsia Haberl dedicated her undergraduate studies at Michigan Engineering to finding a solution to protecting premature infants from hypothermia. Along with fellow classmates, she developed a non-electric warming blanket and launched it under the start-up, Warmilu. Manufacturing blankets for more than a decade, Warmilu's mission is to prevent infant deaths from hypothermia across the globe, particularly in countries with limited resources. Warmilu has brought their non-electric warming blanket to Kenya, where deaths from infant hypothermia are common, and the lack of stable electricity makes it difficult for hospitals to use incubators. In addition to leading Warmilu, Hsia Haberl is an entrepreneurial management and leadership lecturer at Michigan Engineering and the U-M Center for Entrepreneurship.For a more in-depth story on Warmilu and Hsia Haberl's work in Kenya:https://news.engin.umich.edu/2024/09/warmed-by-science-powered-by-love/Warmilu's Website:warmilu.com------Watch more videos from Michigan Engineering and subscribe: @MichiganEngineering The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.

A screen using magnetic pixels stores and displays encrypted images without electronics Michigan Engineering 2024-09-17 | A flexible screen inspired, in part, by squid can store and display encrypted images like a computer—using magnetic fields rather than electronics. The device is described in Advanced Materials and was made in the labs of Joerg Lahann, the Wolfgang Pauli Collegiate Professor of Chemical Engineering, and Abdon Pena-Francesch, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering and co-corresponding author. The researchers' screen could be used wherever light and power sources are cumbersome or undesirable, including clothing, stickers, ID badges, barcodes and e-book readers.The screen displays images by programming magnetic pixels to flip to either orange or white faces in a specific magnetic field direction. The images can be programmed to be publicly read by any standard magnet or privately read by a specific magnetic grid, which acts as a key. The key reprograms specific pixels of the screen to temporarily have inverted flipping behavior and display a new image.This research was published in Advanced Materials on September 16, 2024 and is titled, "Janus Swarm Metamaterials for Information Display, Memory, and Encryption."doi.org/10.1002/adma.202406149Read more here:https://news.engin.umich.edu/2024/09/this-screen-stores-and-displays-encrypted-images-without-electronics/Learn More:BioInspired Materials Lab: apenafrancesch.comLahann Lab: lahannlab.com------Watch more videos from Michigan Engineering and subscribe: @MichiganEngineering The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.

We use plastics to make electronics, toys, water bottles, and other consumer products. But where does all this plastic end up? Some of it is in garbage piles, some of it is in landfills, but a lot of it is in our oceans. You will learn how plastics are made and how we can repurpose or recycle them. We’ll cover the following topics: — How plastics are synthesized and processed— The global plastic waste problem— Strategies for mitigating the plastics waste problemEngineering 100 is the start of a University of Michigan engineer's journey. Students take part in a real-world project that utilizes the fundamentals of their section's topic. From microprocessors to rockets to food, there are several mediums for students to pick from; all cover the same fundamentals (employ the engineer design process, communicate effectively as an engineer, collaborate in diverse teams, understand and practice professional engineering values).------Watch more videos from University of Michigan Engineering and subscribe: @MichiganEngineering The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.

How to improve traffic lights in Birmingham, Mich. with connected vehicle data Michigan Engineering 2024-02-20 | Michigan Engineering researchers are partnering with the Road Commission for Oakland County in Michigan to improve the timing of traffic signals. Timing stop lights is an important step to reducing congestion at an intersection, but the high maintenance cost makes it difficult for most cities to stay on top of it. The University of Michigan research team proposes a cloud based re-timing system that uses anonymized trajectory data from connected vehicles to help create new timing plans. It was piloted in Birmingham, Mich. and was used to re-time all of the city's 32 traffic signals, showing a major decrease to both traffic delay and the number of stops at an intersection. The system is a step up from current re-timing methods, which require traffic controllers to collect data by hand-counting cars during peak times at intersections. The widespread availability of trajectory data from connected vehicles will make it easy to scale the cloud based system, potentially bringing this to traffic control agencies nationwide.Read the paper in Nature Communications:Traffic light optimization with low penetration rate vehicle trajectory dataPublished: February 20, 2024doi.org/10.1038/s41467-024-45427-4Read more:https://news.engin.umich.edu/2024/02/improving-traffic-signal-timing-with-a-handful-of-connected-vehicles/This project was led by Henry Liu, director of the U-M Center for Connected and Automated Transportation (CCAT), as well as the director of Mcity and the Bruce D.

Designing Non-Metallic Squishy Magnets to Power Soft Robots Michigan Engineering 2024-01-15 | Michigan Engineering researchers are looking to use magnetism to guide soft robots and for medical implants and devices. Their research is centered around finding solutions to control soft robots without using tethered power supply's. They developed a non-metallic 'squishy' magnet that is light enough to add to soft robotic components and powerful enough to guide using magnetic fields. The magnets could be used in medicine to guide ingestible capsules to a targeted area in the body, or to insert implants. It's an exciting development that could have an impact on robotics, medicine and sustainability efforts.The research is led by Adbon Pena-Francesch, assistant professor of materials science and engineering.Bioinspired Materials Lab - apenafrancesch.comRead more:https://news.engin.umich.edu/2024/01/squishy-metal-free-magnets-to-power-robots-and-guide-medical-implants/------Watch more videos from Michigan Engineering and subscribe: @MichiganEngineering The University of Michigan College of Engineering is one of the world’s top engineering schools.
