Researchers at MIT have developed RF-Grasp, a robot that can sense hidden objects with ‘superhuman perception’. A research team at MIT has developed RF-Grasp, a robot that uses penetrative radio ...

Roboticists at MIT have developed a new robot with an extending limb that grows a bit like a plant. The appendage can weave its way through confined spaces before lifting a heavy load. The bicycle ...

Teaching a robot how to play Jenga is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Rather than relying on visual information alone, players have to poke, tap, and feel individual wooden blocks to choose which ...

While investors are busy pouring billions of dollars into humanoid robots, an MIT roboticist who has been making robots for ...

With robots increasingly being used on factory floors and elsewhere, researchers are looking for ways to help humans work better with their electromechanical counterparts. Scientists at MIT say the ...

Have you ever walked head on with someone and not known whether to move left or right? Well, a robot is attempting to learn not to be confused by such scenarios. While never explicitly taught, humans ...

Back in 2016, somewhere in a Google-owned warehouse, more than a dozen robotic arms sat for hours quietly grasping objects of various shapes and sizes. For hours on end, they taught themselves how to ...

The 20-pound quadruped is as agile as a gymnast and capable of navigating uneven terrain twice as fast as an average human's walking speed. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more than 1,500 products ...

What’s scarier than a cheetah, one of nature’s most awesome big cats? A robot cheetah, of course. What’s scarier than a robot cheetah? A backflipping robot cheetah, created by the evidently fiendishly ...

With robots increasingly being used on manufacturing floors, researchers are looking for ways that humans can work better with their robot coworkers. Scientists at MIT say the answer is cross-training ...

While the rules of Jenga are pretty simple to grasp, for a robot to play it also needs to understand physics and gain a sense of touch. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more than 1,500 products each ...
