New programmable materials can sense their own movements | MIT News

MIT researchers have developed a method for 3D printing materials with tunable mechanical properties, that sense how they are moving and interacting with the environment. The researchers create these sensing structures using just one material and a single run on a 3D printer. To accomplish this, the researchers began with 3D-printed lattice materials and incorporated networks of air-filled…

Researchers release open-source photorealistic simulator for autonomous driving | MIT News

Hyper-realistic virtual worlds have been heralded as the best driving schools for autonomous vehicles (AVs), since they’ve proven fruitful test beds for safely trying out dangerous driving scenarios. Tesla, Waymo, and other self-driving companies all rely heavily on data to enable expensive and proprietary photorealistic simulators, since testing and gathering nuanced I-almost-crashed data…

CSAIL Launches Artificial Intelligence Initiative with Industry

From self-driving cars to the internet of things, artificial intelligence (AI) has reached new levels of sophistication in recent years. With that in mind, this week MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) launched an industry collaboration focused on using machine learning to create functional human-like systems.

Nearly 40 senior researcherswill participate in the…

For robots to do what we want, they need to understand us. Too often, this means having to meet them halfway: teaching them the intricacies of human language, for example, or giving them explicit commands for very specific tasks.

But what if we could develop robots that were a more natural extension of us and that could actually do whatever we are thinking?

A team from MIT’s Computer Scienceand…

Origami robot folds itself up, crawls away

For decades, a-team of scientists at MIT and Harvard University continues to be focusing on origami robots — reconfigurable programs that might be ready to collapse themselves into arbitrary designs.

In today’s problem of Technology, they record their newest landmark: a robot, created nearly totally from components made by a laser cutter, that folds itself up and crawls away the moment batteries…

Helping robots put it all together

Today’s commercial robots are amazingly successful — so long as they’re in a managed atmosphere where anything is precisely where they anticipate it to become.

But put them within an different environment, where they’ve to consider for themselves, as well as their performance plummets. As well as the trouble of on-the-travel movement planning improves greatly with all the quantity of robots…
