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”
Robotics | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology New imaging technique reconstructs the shapes of hidden objects By leveraging reflections from wireless signals like Wi-Fi, the system could allow robots to find and manipulate items that are blocked from view July 1, 2025 Read full story
Can robots learn from machine dreams? - MIT News LucidSim is an AI-powered simulator that trained a robot dog to perform parkour using generated images without any real-world data This approach, from MIT CSAIL researchers, scales up training data, helping robots transfer skills to the real world without additional fine-tuning
Using generative AI to help robots jump higher and land safely MIT CSAIL researchers use a generative AI model to improve particular parts of 3D robot designs, helping them jump higher and land safely The system refines its ideas in simulation before drafting a machine potentially useful in homes or factories
Humanoid robot learns to waltz by mirroring peoples movements Technology Humanoid robot learns to waltz by mirroring people's movements An AI trained on motion capture recordings can help robots smoothly imitate human actions, such as dancing, walking and
Expanding robot perception - MIT News MIT Associate Professor Luca Carlone works to give robots a more human-like perception of their environment, so they can interact with people safely and seamlessly
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
