ScienceResearchers at MIT have found a way to achieve some of the best of both of these approaches. They used an automated design system but stopped the process periodically to allow human engineers to evaluate the work in progress. The system can be used to optimize a design based on any desired properties, not just strength and weight.

TechEngineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient.
Custom, 3D-printed heart replicas look and pump just like the real thing: The soft robotic models are patient-specific and could help clinicians zero in on the best implant for an individual.

MedicalNeurons in a part of the brain called the striatum are among the hardest-hit. Degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control. Damage to the other population, located in structures called striosomes, may account for the mood disorders often see in the early stages of the disease.

TechResearchers developed an augmented reality headset called X-AR that combines computer vision and wireless perception to find hidden objects in a room and then guide the wearer to retrieve the targeted item.
Augmented reality headset enables users to see hidden objects: The device could help workers locate objects for fulfilling e-commerce orders or identify parts for assembling products.
