Just how real are driverless cars? When will they be available? Looking beyond television commercials and vehicle announcements, McNair brings a holistic approach to this exciting technology. Many advancements have been made in driverless vehicles but in order to see their widespread use and reality, we must prepare and offer…
“Inquiry’s”Melinda Mahaffey Icden quotes UTARI Executive Director Dr. Mickey McCabe and Director of the Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies regarding development and testing of composite materials. Composite materials can be found in everything from cars to space shuttles. But their development is difficult and testing expensive. With two new centers…

Design for Life: Some Foundation Concepts Ken Reifsnider, Presidential Distinguished Professor, University of Texas ArlingtonDirector, Institute for Predictive Performance Methodologies, UTARI Abstract So far as we know, nothing lasts forever. In engineering, “lifing” a design typically means selecting appropriate materials, avoiding “damage accelerators” like stress concentrations, and estimating the time…
Assistive Technologies Robotics is not just about robots! Robotics is about the technologies that enable robots. These same technologies that create autonomous behaviors or sensing for real-time decisions can also be used to affect real-world solutions in the lives of people with disabilities. UTARI is busy exploiting these advances for…
