While Santa Claus may have a magical sleigh and nine plucky reindeer to help him deliver presents, for companies like FedEx, the optimization problem of efficiently routing holiday packages is so complicated that they often employ specialized softwar
MIT researchers suggest integrating autonomous vehicles into the transportation system could be aided by using remote human supervisors combined with cooperating autonomous vehicles.
Waiting for a holiday package to be delivered? There’s a tricky math problem that needs to be solved before the delivery truck pulls up to your door
MIT researchers use a machine-learning-augmented method to speed up the solutions to vehicle routing problems for large sets of cities.
3 –). This can then be used as an ingredient for liquid fertilizer. “To get the conversion process started”, explains Sirui Li, researcher in the group of professor Gallucci, “the N 2 molecules first have to be ‘activated’ by introducing an electrical charge. This ensures that the bonds that hold the nitrogen atoms together are broken, creating a plasma.” In the case of the Leap Agri mini-plant, the electricity for plasma generation is provided by solar energy, a cheap and sustainable source widely available in developing countries. Efficient and accessible The process is highly...
