MIT's DAAAM research gives robots a memory of what it seen, letting it build a detailed map of a space with descriptions that ...

In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long been capable of moving vehicles, assembling chips, and reaching the far ...

MIT researchers have developed an AI memory system that lets robots remember objects, locations, and details from real-world ...

Why would you want a robot to see inside a sealed box? Digging deeper beyond the initial creepy thought, a new breakthrough from MIT could soon let warehouse robots do something pretty remarkable.

Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

A new chip developed by MIT researchers could help tiny, low-power UAVs avoid obstacles as they zip around tight corners ...

By moving their own hand and fingers, users wearing a remote-control wristband can manipulate objects in a virtual ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...

As technology improves, researchers slowly bridge the gap between prosthetics and human limbs: Scientists have developed a prosthetic hand that lets users feel temperatures and bionic legs that move ...

MIT's DAAAM framework gives robots long-term spatial memory by attaching language descriptions to 3D maps. Ask "where's my wallet?" and it searches its memory.
