Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that ...

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - A new robot created by a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Notre Dame could save lives. The robot operates with a soft, ...

MIT and Stanford built vine-like soft robots that wrap, lift, and gently carry objects — even humans — using inflatable tendrils.

Researchers at MIT created an AI-powered simulator capable of generating limitless, realistic training data for robots. The system, named LucidSim, uses AI-generated images to train a robot dog in ...

In the horticultural world, some vines are especially grabby. As they grow, the woody tendrils can wrap around obstacles with enough force to pull down entire fences and trees.

MIT this week showcased a new model for training robots. Rather than the standard set of focused data used to teach robots new tasks, the method goes big, mimicking the massive troves of information ...

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 ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it ...

CMU evaluated how robots using LLMs behave when they have access to personal information such as a person’s gender, ...
