Mar 7, 2025 · New research could allow a person to correct a robot’s actions in real-time, using the kind of feedback they’d give another human. March 7, 2025 Read full story →

Jun 16, 2021 · Realtime Robotics' dedicated technology, known as Lightning, can run through hundreds of potential forecasts per sensor cycle. It gives AV stack partners the ability to imagine a world of possibilities and their various probabilities as identified by Realtime Robotics' sensors and AI-powered perception stack to calculate the best immediate ...

Nov 22, 2022 · MIT researchers made significant steps toward creating robots that could practically and economically assemble nearly anything, including things much larger than themselves, from vehicles to buildings to larger robots. Their new study shows both assembler bots and components of the structure being built can all be made of the same subunits, and robots can move independently in large numbers to ...

Mar 4, 2025 · Live Science takes you through the latest developments in robotics, from the strangest robots to biohybrids, and questions whether we're really ready for intelligent robots. Whatever your interest ...

May 10, 2024 · A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers, from MIT and elsewhere, also built a simulator that can evaluate control algorithms for …

Jan 15, 2025 · That reduces the power and efficiency of the robot. The new transmissions inhibit this bending-buckling motion, which reduces the strain on the artificial muscles and enables them to apply more force to flap the wings. Another new design involves a long wing hinge that reduces torsional stress experienced during the flapping-wing motion.

Apr 8, 2024 · MIT researchers have developed a new type of spring-like device that uses a flexible element to help power biohybrid robots, reports Brian Heater for TechCrunch. “The muscle fiber/flexure system can be applied to various kinds of robots in different sizes,” Heater writes, adding that the researchers are, “focused on creating extremely ...

Jun 3, 2024 · A user could also add data in a new modality or domain by training an additional Diffusion Policy with that dataset, rather than starting the entire process from scratch. The policy composition technique the researchers developed can be used to effectively teach a robot to use tools even when objects are placed around it to try and distract it ...

Oct 2, 2024 · A new algorithm helps robots practice skills like sweeping and placing objects, potentially helping them improve at important tasks in houses, hospitals, and factories. August 8, 2024. Read full story →

Sep 30, 2024 · The team’s new approach, named Clio, enables a robot to identify the parts of a scene that matter, given the tasks at hand. With Clio, a robot takes in a list of tasks described in natural language and, based on those tasks, it then determines the level of granularity required to interpret its surroundings and “remember” only the parts of ...
