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

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.

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 ...

“If muscles are nature’s motors, tendons are the drive shafts—and MIT just built a better one.” That’s how one researcher ...

With long-term memory, robots can know where objects are. MIT has developed an approach for such a memory framework.

“Muscles never clamp directly onto bone.” This anatomical truth, as simple as it sounds, has become the blueprint for a leap ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT and NVIDIA Research researchers have developed a powerful new algorithm that drastically accelerates how robots plan their ...

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.

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...

MIT researchers huddled around a humanoid robot in a mock kitchen. The robot slowly scooped lemonade powder out of a bowl into a pitcher of water, mixed the liquid, and poured the lemonade into a ...

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, ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...
