DARPA Virtual Eye Lets Emergency Responders ‘See’ What They Can’t See
Tony Kontzer | NVIDIA | June 23, 2016
The best thing to give first responders before they enter a smoky room or the site of a chemical spill, or to soldiers before they enter a hostile bunker, is a picture of what’s inside. Exploring an unsecured space in 3D from a safe distance could be a matter of life or death. A team at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is helping to make that possible by funding efforts to combine powerful 3D imaging software, GPUs and pretty much any camera to generate a VR view of a potentially dangerous environment...

Ekso GT Robotic 'Exoskeleton' System enters the Marketplace
By Peter Groen | December 26, 2013
Last week, Ekso Bionics announced the first delivery of Ekso GT, their latest robotic exoskeleton which enables individuals with lower extremity paralysis or weakness to stand and walk. The first Ekso GT was delivered to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. News about exoskeletons and the development of other human augmentation technologies continues to proliferate. Witness another recent story in the New York Post entitled "Paralyzed Veterans competing in race in exoskeleton suit". Many exoskeleton systems are making use of 'open source' technologies.

How To Do Software Like Nasa, By Nasa
Robert McMillan | Wired.com | April 4, 2014
Forty years after Apollo 11 landed on the moon, Nasa open sourced the software code that ran the guidance systems on the lunar module. By that time, the code was little more than a novelty. But in recent years, the space agency has built all sorts of other software that is still on the cutting edge.

Human Augmentation, Exoskeleton Technology & 'Open' Health
By Peter Groen | December 26, 2013
Human augmentation is generally used to refer to technologies that enhance human productivity or capability. It spans a wide gamut of technologies, ranging from implants, prosthetic limbs, enhanced sensory devices, powered exoskeletons, and more. Military organizations are now experimenting with a wide range of 1st generation human augmentation technologies, including exoskeletons that allow personnel to carry increased loads and perform at a higher level. These devices also have the potential to be adapted for use in healthcare and many other industries. Read More »

MIT and DARPA Pack Lidar Sensor Onto Single Chip
Christopher V. Poulton and Michael R. Watts | IEEE Spectrum | August 4, 2016
Light detection and ranging, or lidar, is a sensing technology based on laser light. It’s similar to radar, but can have a higher resolution, since the wavelength of light is about 100,000 times smaller than radio wavelengths. For robots, this is very important: Since radar cannot accurately image small features, a robot equipped with only a radar module would have a hard time grasping a complex object. At the moment, primary applications of lidar are autonomous vehicles and robotics, but also include terrain and ocean mapping and UAVs...
