AI-Enabled Ultrasound for Field Forward Medicine
Tour location: MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington MA
More information: https://www.ll.mit.edu/r-d/projects/artificial-intelligence-guided-ultrasound-intervention-device
This tour showcases system prototypes and developments that leverage AI to enable less specialized medical personnel to use ultrasound technologies in field forward environments and save lives. The AI-guided Ultrasound Intervention Device (AI-GUIDE) aims to enable medical personnel of varying experience to perform emergency battlefield interventions such as vascular access, tracheotomy, and nerve block. The AI-enabled Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (AIDMSK) effort will allow users to rapidly and accurately quantify musculoskeletal injuries, such as plantar fasciitis and stress fractures, and make more informed return-to-activity decisions.
AI Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination Laboratory
Tour location: MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington MA
More information: https://www.ll.mit.edu/about/facilities/ai-processing-exploitation-and-dissemination-laboratory
The Artificial Intelligence Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (AI PED) Laboratory is a software integration facility in which researchers can develop and prototype information systems and software architectures to support decision makers. Staff working on systems for air, space, and cyber missions can create prototypes that apply machine learning and artificial intelligence to the automation of processes that transform raw data into usable information.
Autonomous Systems Development Facility (ASDF)
Tour location: Hanscom Air Force Base, Bedford MA (transportation provided)
More information: https://www.ll.mit.edu/about/facilities/autonomous-systems-development-facility
Special note: To attend this tour, visitors must possess a valid Common Access Card. Please bring your CAC to the RAAINS Workshop.
The Autonomous Systems Development Facility is a state-of-the-art resource that enables the development and testing of autonomy algorithms and capabilities. The 17,000-square-foot indoor test facility accommodates the prototyping and testing of ground-based, aerial, and undersea autonomous systems.
Human-AI Performance Incubator (HAPI) Laboratory
Tour location: MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Lexington MA
More information: https://www.ll.mit.edu/r-d/projects/human-ai-performance-incubator
The Human-AI Performance Incubator (HAPI) Laboratory is focused on developing performance metrics for Human-Machine Teaming. This tour includes a short presentation describing the system performance monitoring pipeline, physiological sensor suite, 3D scanning and augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) capabilities. Visitors will also have the opportunity to participate in a closed-loop eye tracking demonstration that uses eye motion to control a computer game, as well as experience the extended reality (ER) lab space.
Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center (LLSC)
Facility location: Holyoke MA (virtual tour only)
More information: https://www.ll.mit.edu/about/facilities/lincoln-laboratory-supercomputing-center
The LLSC is an interactive, on-demand parallel computing system that uses large computing clusters to enable Laboratory researchers to augment the power of desktop systems to process large sets of sensor data, create high-fidelity simulations, and develop entirely new algorithms. The petaflop-scale computing system contains 41,472 processor cores that can compute 1015 operations per second.
STRIVE Center
Tour location: Billerica MA (transportation provided)
More information and virtual tour: https://www.ll.mit.edu/about/facilities/strive-center
The Sensorimotor Technology Realization in Immersive Virtual Environments (STRIVE) Center houses the Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN) system, a “flight simulator for dismounted activities.” Users interact with a projected immersive virtual environment within a 24-foot tall dome while balancing, walking, or running on a treadmill embedded in a moving platform as state-of-the-art sensing capabilities assess their biomechanical, physiological, and cognitive performance.
