The robot has also shown promising results, taking 125 unique measurements per hour in a 24-hour test. The precision and ...

An undergraduate exchange student develops improved tactile sensor technology for surgical robotics as part of an internship ...

The new robots, called link-bots, are comprised of centimeter-scale, 3D-printed particles strung into V-shaped chains via notched links and are capable of coordinated, life-like movements without ...

MIT engineers developed the E-BAR robot to prevent falls and support senior mobility as the U.S. population ages. Adults over 65 are projected to increase from 58 million to 82 million by 2050.

Bug-sized daredevil robot nails aerial stunts, beating flying bots in energy use This hopping robot is smaller than a thumb and lighter than a paper clip. Updated: Apr 10, 2025 04:26 AM EST ...

MIT builds tiny hopping robot to navigate challenging terrains by Suhasini Srinivasaragavan 9 Apr 2025 Save article ...

MIT’s new design divided this robot in half. Each one of the four units has a single, flapping wing that points away from the robot’s center.

Rapid declines in insect populations are leading to concerns that the pollination of important crops could soon come under threat. Tiny flying robots designed by MIT researchers could one day provide ...

A big challenge when training AI models to control robots is gathering enough realistic data. Now, researchers at MIT have shown they can train a robot dog using 100 percent synthetic data.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new approach to train general-purpose robots, drawing inspiration from the success of large language models like GPT-4.

A team from MIT's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is using large language models (LLMs) to give robots the "common sense knowledge" they need to be helpful around the house.

The robot’s pincer arm did this successfully in 58.5% of cases; the success rate rose to 82% in rooms that were less cluttered. (Their research has not yet been peer reviewed.) ...
