Computer vision processing for microrobots
David Blaauw, Dennis Sylvester, and Zhengya Zhang demonstrated a powerefficient speeded-up robust features (SURF) extraction accelerator targeted
primarily for visual navigation by micro air vehicles. The accelerator was fabricated
in 28 nm LP CMOS and consumes only 2.7 milliwatts of power.

A theory for seeing through opaque media
Raj Nadakuditi and Eric Michielssen theoretically predicted (and verified using
ultra high-accuracy simulations with millions of scatterers) that perfect

Faster low-dose x-rays
Jeff Fessler dramatically reduced computation time for low-dose X-ray CT
image reconstruction. A patent was submitted.
Bottom right image of a chest CT scans shows that the proposed algorithm
leads to better image quality than existing methods in a given amount of
computation time.

New laser paradigm
Pallab Bhattacharya demonstrated a polariton laser that's fueled by electricity
instead of light. The device was first predicted in 1996. It takes about 1,000 times less
energy to operate than a conventional laser, and operates through Light Amplification
by Stimulated Scattering of Polaritons.

Focused ultrasound beams
Jay Guo, Euisik Yoon, John Hart (ME) and Zhen Xu (BioMed) accomplished an
extremely focused sound beam through the use of an optoacoustic lens that
embeds carbon nanotubes in a polymeric film. They detached a single ovarian
