MIT researchers may have a better solution: teach robots to predict how even the squishiest items will react to their touch. They've developed a "learning-based" particle simulation system that ...

This so-called "particle robotics" system -- based on a project by MIT, Columbia Engineering, Cornell University, and Harvard University researchers -- comprises many individual disc-shaped units ...

But that might change with a set of robots developed by researchers at MIT, Harvard, Columbia and Cornell Universities. These "particle robots," as the team calls them, are simple, circular ...

In a study featured in the journal Nature, a team from Columbia engineering and MIT developed cell-inspired "particle robots" capable of moving together as a collective. Individually, these tiny ...

A team of engineers from MIT, Columbia University, Harvard University and Cornell University, looked to biological organisms and human cells for inspiration, developing a "particle robot" made up ...

MIT’s new AI system designs robots that jump 41 percent higher by optimizing structures through diffusion models and ...

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 ...

Scientists at MIT have created a robot capable of dribbling and running with a soccer ball that could pave the way for the creation of life-saving machines in the future. The robot, dubbed ...

MIT researchers are designing robotic insects capable of swarming from mechanical hives to handle precise pollination tasks efficiently. The team designed their tiny, flying robots to be ...

MIT and NVIDIA researchers created a GPU-accelerated algorithm that lets robots plan complex tasks in seconds, boosting industrial efficiency.
