Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers have made a soft, origami-inspired robot which can pick up objects 100 times heavier than itself. In a video released on Wednesday ...

The cheetah was the inspiration for the "cheetah robot," created by researchers at MIT and funded by the US military. Crafting the robot took five years of designing, testing, and tweaking.

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in ... 3D-printing a handheld stamp (top images) patterned with microscopic grooves ...

The MIT jumping robot is only 5 cm tall and weighs less than a gram. But it can still make big jumps. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have identified the hopping ...

This new 20-pound robot from MIT, meanwhile, is able to bend and swing in the air thanks to power it draws from a dozen electric motors — three motors each for the four individual legs.

A new MIT and NVIDIA ... or physically guide the robot’s arm. These methods improve alignment with user intent while ensuring feasible actions. “When you are mapping a 2D image of the ...

Scientists at MIT managed to teach a robot to run using machine learning. Normally robots are taught how to move across difficult terrain by preprogramming it into their code. This time ...

MIT researchers are designing robotic insects capable of swarming from mechanical hives to handle precise pollination tasks efficiently. The team designed their tiny, flying robots to be ...

Internals of 3D printed “print and fold” robot. [Image source: MIT CSAIL] Robot design traditionally separates the body geometry from the mechanics of the gait, but they both have a profound ...
