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 ...

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 ...

MIT researchers have built a new AI system that allows robots to create detailed 3D maps of complex environments within ...

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 ...

Daniela Rus, Director of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) explains how AI is helping ...

MIT's Cheetah robot has finally been let off the leash -- and boy can it run. Watch as it bounds across a grass field, and even jumps over a hurdle. It isn't quite up to the evolutionary magnificence ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
