With new self-repairing technology, and muscle-like actuators, scientists at MIT are one step closer to perfecting robotic ...

But having a handful of robots, each with its hyper-specific uses, isn't always practical. To MIT, flexibility is vital. Enter WORMS, short for the Walking Oligomeric Robotic Mobility System.

Yes, but: Humanoid robots are staggeringly difficult to build and engineer to perform reliably. There are a host of design challenges, from simple balance to replicating human movements ... Adcock ...

Please don't break your back doing it all by yourself. Let a robot vacuum handle it for you. Specifically, let this self-emptying Shark robot vacuum take over in your stead. It's more than capable ...

As part of pre-release safety testing for its new GPT-4 AI model, launched Tuesday, OpenAI allowed an AI testing group to assess the potential risks of the model's emergent capabilities—including ...

(Source: Robert MacCurdy/MIT CSAIL) Rus, the Viterbi professor of electrical engineering and computer science, has led several other innovative robotics projects. These include different forms of self ...

By virtue of taking the hard case off of robotic systems, engineering them out of materials that are soft and deformable and have these self-healing properties, that truly can really change how we use ...

Researchers from MIT have developed a bumblebee inspired soft robot that keeps flying even after cutting 20 ... failures from one tiny defect using a physical phenomenon known as self-clearing. In ...

MIT engineers have designed a walking lunar robot cleverly inspired by the animal kingdom. The “mix-and-match” system is made of worm-like robotic limbs astronauts could configure into various ...

Inspired by the hardiness of bumblebees, MIT researchers have developed repair techniques that enable a bug-sized aerial robot to sustain severe damage ... The researchers employed a technique known ...
