Robotic probe quickly measures key properties of new materials Developed to analyze new semiconductors, the system could streamline the development of more powerful solar panels
- Artificial tendons give muscle-powered robots a boost
MIT engineers developed artificial tendons that could connect robotic skeletons and biological muscle tissue Made from tough and flexible hydrogel, the tendons could be used in various bio-hybrid robots
- Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to . . .
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
Pick-and-place machines are a type of automated equipment used to place objects into structured, organized locations These machines are used for a variety of applications — from electronics assembly to packaging, bin picking, and even inspection — but many current pick-and-place solutions are limited Current solutions lack “precise generalization,” or the ability to solve many tasks
- 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
- Robotic probe quickly measures key properties of new materials
An MIT robotic probe quickly measures photoconductance in new semiconductor materials By dramatically increasing the speed at which scientists can characterize these materials, this system could spur the development of solar panels that produce more electricity
