AI system learns to keep warehouse robot traffic running smoothly This new approach adapts to decide which robots should get the right of way at every moment, avoiding congestion and increasing throughput
- 9 ways robots are helping humans: Robodogs to magnetic slime | World . . .
Robots are helping humans in a growing number of places – from archaeological sites to disaster zones and sewers The most recent robotic inventions can entertain people in care homes and squeeze into small spaces Robotics engineers are among the top 20 job types on a growth trajectory, according to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025
- What is a robot? - New Scientist
The word “robot” was coined by the Czech writer Karel Čapek in a 1920 play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, and is derived from the Czech robota, meaning “drudgery” or “servitude”
- AI system learns to keep warehouse robot traffic running smoothly
A new system increases throughput in automated warehouses by adaptively determining which robots should go first to avoid congestion and collisions The work was led by researchers from MIT and Symbotic
- Expanding robot perception - MIT News
MIT Associate Professor Luca Carlone works to give robots a more human-like perception of their environment, so they can interact with people safely and seamlessly
- Hopping gives this tiny robot a leg up - MIT News
A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for flying microbots
- Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to . . .
A vision-based control system called Neural Jacobian Fields enables soft and rigid robots to learn self-supervised motion control using only a monocular camera The system, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, combines 3D scene reconstruction with embodied representation and closed-loop control
- New tool gives anyone the ability to train a robot - MIT News
A new training interface allows a robot to learn a task in several different ways This increased training flexibility could help more people interact with and teach robots — and may also enable robots to learn a wider set of skills
