In this week’s show we explore computer vision and perception, and the research involved in advancing a computer’s ability to understand the real world. We talk with Intel senior researchers Rahul Sakthankar and Lily Mummert from the Intel research lab in Pittsburgh about practical applications like tracking honeybees in a hive, watching for signs of […]

The concept of “stemness” refers to the capacity within a stem cell to create different kinds of cells. It promises to revolutionize medicine. Isolated in the petri dish, stem cells exhibit interesting behaviors that scientists are just beginning to understand. With thousands of cells to monitor, computer vision technology is helping researchers analyze great numbers […]

Zero energy buildings, known as ZEB and also known as zero net energy buildings, promise to have a huge impact on energy consumption globally, especially since office and commercial buildings use nearly 40% of fossil based energy in the U.S. and Europe. Milan Milenkovic, who heads up the zero net energy project for Intel Labs, […]

What is possible if we could greatly reduce the bottlenecks in the transfer of data? Electrons and copper wire have taken us far, but only so far. What lies beyond is light speed. Silicon photonics is the transmission of data using light, which can go much faster and farther. It unleashes many new possibilities inside […]

Michael Payne directs the Interactive Experience Research Group, IXR, at Intel. In this video, he talks about new ways technology can enhance user experience at Research@Intel Day 2010, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. Beverly Harrison, Senior Scientist within IXR, demonstrates interactive touch applications on plain countertops, and Wendy March, Senior […]

At Research@Intel Day 2010, scientists reveal compelling usages for gaming technology. Water Wars employs gaming technology to educate users about water consumption and encourages their participation in public policy. Intel Labs researchers anticipate the move from text-based interaction to a 3D world… and not just for gaming.

For researchers at Intel, energy conservation can mean finding ways to exploit even small opportunities to harvest or save energy. In these research projects scientists are examining ways that a home energy system can make a building intelligent: detecting electrical loads, such as a toaster, when turned on and off and adjusting usage. And researchers […]

Vu Nguyen, Technology Evangelist at Intel, talks about the Connected Car, at Research@Intel Day, held at the Computer History Museum in Sunnyvale, California. Nguyen demonstrates wireless connection to a smart electric car: smart charging, diagnostics, monitoring, security, as well as use of light sensor technology for safe distance driving.

Intel Labs researches a diverse range things, from nanotechnologies that push the development of new chip technologies to human behavior and interaction with technology. This video is an introduction to Intel Labs’ annual Research@Intel Day which is a showcase of many of the Labs’ best projects. The featured speakers are Justin Rattner, Intel CTO, and […]

Justin Rattner, Chief Technology Officer at Intel, talks about Research@Intel Day, held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. The event is a gathering of press and academia to meet the best and brightest minds in Intel’s varied areas of research. Intelligent energy management, optical data transfer, and user experience are among the […]
