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

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 ...

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

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 ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Everyone is obsessed with humanoid robots right now, but the director of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory thinks tomorrow’s intelligent physical machines ...

Scientists are building autonomous robotic labs powered by artificial intelligence. The goal, they say, is for these robots to take over human researchers' most laborious, time-consuming tasks.

Nearly two decades ago, four graduate students from MIT united around a shared idea. "We believed that programming cells would ultimately be more important than programming computers," says Jason ...
