Building a single optics experiment can take months of painstaking, manual adjustment, positioning delicate ...

Every new generation of phone display, television screen and solar panel is the result of precision optics experiments, which ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new algorithm called cuTAMP to accelerate robot task and motion planning (TAMP). TAMP involves generating a high-level task plan—a sequence of actions—and a corresponding ...

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 ...

Why would you want a robot to see inside a sealed box? Digging deeper beyond the initial creepy thought, a new breakthrough from MIT could soon let warehouse robots do something pretty remarkable.

MIT built an ultrasound wristband that tracks 22 degrees of hand motion and controls a robot hand in real time with 120ms latency. Engineers at MIT have built an ultrasound wristband that can track 22 ...

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have a new experimental robot. This one doesn't self-assemble from smaller robots or see with its feet—it doesn't ...

Forward-looking: A new chapter in materials science is unfolding at MIT, where researchers have developed a fully autonomous robotic system designed to accelerate the search for advanced ...
