Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

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 have developed an AI control system that enables soft robotic arms to learn a wide repertoire of motions and tasks once, then adjust to new scenarios on the fly without needing retraining ...

Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

eSpeaks host Corey Noles sits down with Qualcomm's Craig Tellalian to explore a workplace computing transformation: the rise of AI-ready PCs. Matt Hillary, VP of Security and CISO at Drata, details ...

Science fiction promised us humanoids. Do we even want them?

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - A new robot created by a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Notre Dame could save lives. The robot operates with a soft, ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are calling a new kind of robot they developed the “equivalent of a robotic Swiss Army Knife” because of its multi-function capabilities and ...

Character animation is hard at the best of times. Hollywood and games-industry animators long ago turned away from traditional "keyframe" animation for creating large quantities of realistic character ...

You don’t have to be a kid to get excited about a “robot garden” with tons of fast-changing LED lights and over 100 origami roots that crawl, swim and blossom like flowers, but MIT has created such a ...
