MIT unveils low-power Gleanmer chip for robot 3D mapping

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] · 2026-06-23 04:54

Researchers at MIT have created a new chip named Gleanmer, designed to significantly reduce power consumption for autonomous navigation. This chip allows small robots to construct 3D maps using only 6 milliwatts of power, a substantial improvement over current systems. The development is a result of a co-design approach integrating hardware and algorithms, potentially paving the way for more efficient drones and AR glasses. AI

IMPACT This development could enable more energy-efficient autonomous navigation for devices like drones and AR glasses.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a new chip developed by university researchers, which falls under research and development. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=0.7]
