MIT engineers have developed a thin, magnetically controlled soft robotics device coated in a slippery skin to pass through tight pathways. A tiny worm-like robot capable of gliding through narrow, ...

Rodney Brooks, the cofounder of Roomba vacuum creator iRobot, said the idea of humanoid robots as catchall assistants, the ...

A robotic hand with high-resolution touch sensing to accurately identify an object after gripping it once has been developed by a team at MIT. MIT researchers developed a soft-rigid robotic finger ...

When Rodney Brooks talks about robotics and artificial intelligence, you should listen. Currently the Panasonic Professor of Robotics Emeritus at MIT, he also co-founded three key companies, including ...

When studying underwater marine life, it helps if you can use a device that doesn't scare the animals by appearing unnatural to them. MIT scientists have created a robo-starfish with that in mind, ...

The MIT CSAIL team calls them “banana fingers,” and I can’t really disagree. They’re oblong and bright yellow, but as visually arresting as they are at first glance, they do serve a function. The ...
