- Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to . . .
A vision-based control system called Neural Jacobian Fields enables soft and rigid robots to learn self-supervised motion control using only a monocular camera The system, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, combines 3D scene reconstruction with embodied representation and closed-loop control
- Hopping gives this tiny robot a leg up - MIT News
A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for flying microbots
- What is a robot? - New Scientist
The word “robot” was coined by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in a 1920 play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, and is derived from the Czech robota, meaning “drudgery” or “servitude”
- MIT engineers design an aerial microrobot that can fly as fast as a . . .
MIT researchers developed an aerial microrobot that can fly with speed and agility comparable to real insects The research opens the door to future bug-sized robots that could aid in search-and-rescue missions

Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies Neural Jacobian Fields, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, can learn to control any robot from a single camera, without any other sensors
- Robotic system zeroes in on objects most relevant for helping humans . . .
MIT roboticists developed a way to cut through data noise and help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans The system could be used in smart manufacturing and warehouse settings where robots would work alongside and assist humans
- New system enables robots to solve manipulation problems in seconds
A new system enables a robot to “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously, allowing the robot to solve a multistep problem in a few seconds
- Teaching robots to map large environments - MIT News
MIT researchers developed a powerful system that could help robots safely navigate unpredictable environments using only images captured from their onboard cameras
