Three-dimensional Digital Knitting of Intelligent Textile Sensor for Activity Recognition and Biomechanical Monitoring

We're thrilled to welcome our friends at the Museum to Kendall Square!

The honorees will be included in the October 2022 print issue of Fast Company Magazine.

Congratulations to Ali Shtarbanov and Irmandy Wicaksono!

MIT researchers created a smart textile linked up with a machine learning system.

Researchers develop a comfortable, form-fitting fabric that recognizes its wearer’s activities, like walking, running, and jumping.

Our digital knitting approach enables the fabrication of 2D to 3D pressure-sensitive textile interiors and wearables

Two projects led by Irmandy Wicaksono of the Responsive Environments group, with collaborators, have been honored as finalists.

Wicaksono researches and invents electronic textiles and garments with a wide range of applications.

I’d like to continue to make these connections, between traditional practices in my country and the things I’ve learned abroad.

Congratulations to project team researchers Irmandy Wicaksono, Don Derek Haddad, and collaborator Loni Landon!

Inspired by the human ear, a new acoustic fabric converts audible sounds into electrical signals.

Developed in collaboration with dancer Loni Landon, Tapis Magique is a pressure-sensitive, knitted electronic textile carpet.

Pressure-sensitive, knitted electronic textile carpet generates 3D sensor data based on body gestures, drives an immersive sonic environment

As a part of Proseminar in Media Arts and Sciences, the newly-minted PhD cohort works together to envision future Media Lab research groups

Irmandy Wicaksono, PhD student in the Responsive Environments group, has been chosen as one of six finalists in the 2021 Lexus Design Award.

The competition, now in its ninth year, has featured a cross section of blue-chip companies, scruffy startups, and hungry young talents.

A six-week summer course in Shenzhen gave students a unique experience in bringing their research into a manufacturing environment

A 48-hour creative exchange between more than 40 artists and creative technologists.

The rapid advancement of electronic devices and fabrication technologies has further promoted the field of wearables and smart textiles. Ho…

Comfortable, form-fitting garments could be used to remotely track patients’ health.

Here's my take on the future of textiles, as well as the connection between research and manufacturing.

The Hacking Manufacturing program allowed students to gain exposure to the realities of deploying their research outside of academia.

Congratulations to all who graduated during the 2018-2019 academic year!
