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 ...

MIT engineers have built a fast, lightweight robotic arm that can play table tennis like a pro. Designed for high-speed accuracy, the robot sits at one end of a ping pong table and uses a standard ...

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 ...

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have a new experimental robot. This one doesn't self-assemble from smaller robots or see with its feet—it doesn't ...

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - A new robot created by a team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Notre Dame could save lives. The robot operates with a soft, ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from MIT's Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are developing a robotic grocery bagging system that could one day show up in your local ...

Rapid declines in insect populations are leading to concerns that the pollination of important crops could soon come under threat. Tiny flying robots designed by MIT researchers could one day provide ...

A thumb-size $100 robot from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has arrived at the south pole of the moon. But the machine, called AstroAnt, isn’t going to explore the lunar surface. It’s ...

Researchers at MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) have created robotic subunits called "voxels" that can self-assemble into a rudimentary robot, and then collect more voxels to assemble larger ...
