Driving advances in hardware, devices, and cyber-physical systems that expand the possibilities of computing.
A prototype humanoid Store Assistant robot that can work alongside retail workers to welcome and engage customers in a retail setting. The Assistant can greet customers at the door, answer questions about products, direct them to the location…
9:30 – 12:00 Demos and discussion: 20 min demo + 10 min discussion – Andruid/Andrew Webb/Alyssa Valdez, Texas A&M – John Stasko, Georgia Tech – Sebastian Gunther, Darmstadt University – Andy van Dam, Brown University…
The Windflow project explores the research questions: Could airplanes in flight be employed as a vast sensor network to determine atmospheric conditions? Could data available today be used to infer winds on a large scale…
We have seen the birth of many exotic architectures in recent years, from a quantum computer that promises to achieve exponential speed-ups over conventional computers, to DNA computation that performs disease diagnostics and therapy, to…
The goal of this project is to build a generalized vehicle-agnostic system that can provide safety guarantees in the face of an uncertain world. We are defining what “safe” means, and building a theoretical framework…
The BBC micro:bit is a wearable and programmable device that visibly features a 5×5 LED display, accelerometer, compass, buttons, I/O pins, Micro USB plug, Bluetooth Low Energy antenna, ARM Cortex-M0 processor, and battery plug. The…
Today’s wearable devices are rapidly shrinking in size. The next frontier of personalized computing is the interaction of these wearables with other proximal devices. Future interconnected wearables will thus exchange information with other ambient devices,…
At Microsoft Research Cambridge we are committed to inspiring and supporting the next generation of computer scientists, and were delighted to be able to offer a one-day exclusive experience to selected students from the UK.
