MIT researchers have announced two robotics breakthroughs: a reconfigurable voxel-based construction system assembled by robots to reduce waste and emissions, and 3D-printed magnetic micro-bots ...

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, ...

Picture a robot capable of changing its shape on demand, squishing, bending, or stretching to perform various tasks like navigating tight spaces or retrieving objects. While this may sound like ...

MIT researchers have developed a voxel-based construction system where robots assemble lightweight, interlocking blocks into full-scale structures. The approach aims to reduce material waste and ...

Plenty of companies have demoed home robots, but few, if any, have actually been released. The truth is that even the most advanced robots aren't very good at interacting with objects and environments ...
