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, ...

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 ...

In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long been capable of moving vehicles, assembling chips, and reaching the far ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

MIT researchers have demonstrated aerial microrobots that can fly with speed and agility that is comparable to their ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

Researchers at the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT have unveiled Feature Fields for Robotic Manipulation (F3RM), a ground-breaking system that enables robots to ...

MIT engineers develop artificial hydrogel tendons to enhance strength, speed, and durability in biohybrid robotic system ...

As a senior at MIT in 2011, John Romanishin proposed a new approach to modular robotics that relied on magnets, flywheels, and the laws of physics. While his mentors and colleagues were skeptical his ...
