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, ...

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 ...

In a world where self-driving robotaxis glide through major city streets without drivers behind the wheel and delivery drones ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at MIT created an AI-powered simulator capable of generating limitless, realistic training data for robots. The system ...

In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long been capable of moving vehicles, assembling chips, and reaching the far ...

A new study out of MIT has created an autonomously functioning robot that can act like a lab technician to test materials, in particular for the properties needed to make solar cells. It can collect ...

MIT's DAAAM research gives robots a memory of what it seen, letting it build a detailed map of a space with descriptions that ...

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

Forward-looking: A new chapter in materials science is unfolding at MIT, where researchers have developed a fully autonomous robotic system designed to accelerate the search for advanced ...
