In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long ...

Although they're constantly improving, robots aren't necessarily known for their gentle touch. A new robotic system from MIT ...

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 ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed an AI-driven robotic assembly system lets users build ...

MIT researchers built an AI robotic system that turns plain-language prompts into 3D designs and assembles objects with ...

Self-checkouts may take on a new meaning sometime in the future. Instead of having to scan the items yourself, a grocery packing robot may be able to do it for you. It sounds like science fiction, and ...

The first self-checkout system was installed in 1986 in a Kroger grocery store just outside of Atlanta. It took several decades, but the technology has finally proliferated across the U.S. Given the ...

A team of researchers from MIT, along with industry partners, is developing robotic technology designed to help drivers navigate their way to regular destinations and keep them company on long trips.

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 ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a flying robot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee and could, someday, help with search-and ...

With robots increasingly being used on manufacturing floors, researchers are looking for ways that humans can work better with their robot coworkers. Scientists at MIT say the answer is cross-training ...

A new MIT robot that uses UV light to kill the coronavirus could be used to disinfect warehouses, schools, and offices. The system has already been used to sanitize the Greater Boston Food Bank. In ...
