Scientists have developed a low-cost, durable, highly-sensitive robotic ‘skin’ that can be added to robotic hands like a glove, enabling robots to detect information about their surroundings
- Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches . . . - MIT News
A 3D-printed robotic arm holds a pencil as it trains using random movements and a single camera — part of a new control system called Neural Jacobian Fields (NJF) Rather than relying on sensors or hand-coded models, NJF allows robots to learn how their bodies move in response to motor commands purely from visual observation, offering a pathway to more flexible, affordable, and self-aware
- A new model offers robots precise pick-and-place solutions
SimPLE (Simulation to Pick Localize and placE), a new model developed by MIT researchers, learns to pick, regrasp and place objects using object’s computer-aided design (CAD) model
