Tiny robot boats build floating structures

MIT researchers developed FloatForm, a swarm of small aquatic robots that snap together like ants forming a raft, assembling into reconfigurable structures on the water.

Exploring the societal impacts of AI

During the AI and Society Forum, leading MIT researchers examined critical questions about AI’s influence on employment and democracy.

New chip could help tiny robots traverse complex environments

Researchers combined an efficient algorithm with dedicated hardware to rapidly generate 3D maps for navigation using minimal memory and power.

Human-machine teaming dives underwater

Researchers are developing hardware and algorithms to improve collaboration between divers and autonomous underwater vehicles engaged in maritime missions.

AI system learns to keep warehouse robot traffic running smoothly

This new approach adapts to decide which robots should get the right of way at every moment, avoiding congestion and increasing throughput.

Wristband enables wearers to control a robotic hand with their own movements

By moving their hands and fingers, users can direct a robot to play piano or shoot a basketball, or they can manipulate objects in a virtual environment.

Generative AI improves a wireless vision system that sees through obstructions

With this new technique, a robot could more accurately detect hidden objects or understand an indoor scene using reflected Wi-Fi signals.
