Sebastien Mannai, Antoni Rosinol Vidal win FutureMakers first prize

Demonstrating a means of applying machine vision and signal processing to a complex mechanical system has won MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics Department graduate students Sebastien Mannai and Antoni Rosinol Vidal first prize in the multi-university FutureMakers Challenge. The FutureMakers Challenge involved students from five U.S. universities who worked on next-generation software concepts to foster innovation, and to develop the next-generation digital engineering workforce. The competition was hosted by the Siemens Corporate Technology in collaboration with MIT and the Institute’s Industrial Liaison Program. Similar challenges were held at Carnegie Mellon University, the University of California at Berkeley, Princeton University, Rutgers University, and Georgia Tech. The competition gave student teams 24 hours to create software solutions for Siemens’ Mindsphere cloud-based operating system that can be applied to emerging technology trends such as cybersecurity, machine learning, artificial intelligence, industrial automation, and smart manufacturing. Winners were selected by a panel of Siemens experts based Continuer la lecture Sebastien Mannai, Antoni Rosinol Vidal win FutureMakers first prize
