Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are building swarms of tiny robots that have built-in intelligence, allowing them to build structures, vehicles, or even larger versions of ...

MIT and NVIDIA Research researchers have developed a powerful new algorithm that drastically accelerates how robots plan their actions. Robots may complete intricate, multistep manipulation tasks in ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a novel AI technique that simplifies the process of contact-rich manipulation planning for robots. The method involves using an AI technique called "smoothing" to ...

Bees' flight capabilities are quite sophisticated, but strangely, the MIT roboticists ended up building a robot that sported ...

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...

Researchers from MIT designed "DribbleBot," a robot that dribbles a soccer ball just like humans. The robot stands out for its ability to kick a ball with legs, while most robots still use wheels.

With robots increasingly being used on factory floors and elsewhere, researchers are looking for ways to help humans work better with their electromechanical counterparts. Scientists at MIT say the ...

MIT researchers have developed a new soft robotics platform able to grip items such as tools using the appropriate amount of force. The Series Elastic End Effectors (SEED) has been designed to allow ...

Researchers at MIT created an AI-powered simulator capable of generating limitless, realistic training data for robots. The system, named LucidSim, uses AI-generated images to train a robot dog in ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have ...

MIT’s Biomimetics Lab recently broke the speed record for a robotic Mini Cheetah: not quite Usain Bolt speed, but probably faster than you can run. But this robot can’t see, and MIT’s researchers didn ...

As useful and impressive as robots can be, they present one ubiquitous concern: Will they take our jobs? Robots and other autonomous technologies are rapidly gaining prevalence across a variety of ...
