2025年1月15日 · Teaching a robot its limits, to complete open-ended tasks safely. The “PRoC3S” method helps an LLM create a viable action plan by testing each step in a simulation. This strategy could eventually aid in-home robots to complete more ambiguous chore requests. December 12, 2024. Read full story →
The new wave of robotic automation - MIT News
2021年6月16日 · The fact is, it's always been too slow to be effective for robot and autonomous vehicle applications in dynamic environments like a factory floor shared by robots and people alike. Until Realtime Robotics stepped up and solved the problem with autonomous robot motion planning and multi-robot deconfliction.
A better way to control shape-shifting soft robots
2024年5月10日 · A new machine-learning technique can train and control a reconfigurable soft robot that can dynamically change its shape to complete a task. The researchers, from MIT and elsewhere, also built a simulator that can evaluate control algorithms for …

9 ways robots are helping humans: Robodogs to magnetic slime
The robot can autonomously inspect the bolts, taking away the need for humans to loosen and retighten them, reports Marine Technology News. The project could save hundreds of millions of dollars in Europe each year, alone, while also extending turbine life spans and reducing the risks faced by human workers.
Engineering household robots to have a little common sense
2024年3月25日 · Mapping a robot’s physical coordinates, or an image of the robot state, to a natural language label is known as “grounding.” The team’s new algorithm is designed to learn a grounding “classifier,” meaning that it learns to automatically identify what semantic subtask a robot is in — for example, “reach” versus “scoop ...
MIT engineers devise a recipe for improving any autonomous …
2022年6月21日 · In some respects, designing an autonomous robot today is like baking a cake from scratch, with no recipe or prepared mix to ensure a successful outcome. Now, MIT engineers have developed a general design tool for roboticists …
A technique for more effective multipurpose robots
2024年6月3日 · MIT researchers developed a technique to combine robotics training data across domains, modalities, and tasks using generative AI models. They create a combined strategy from several different datasets that enables a robot to learn to …
Robotic palm mimics human touch - MIT News
2024年5月20日 · The team also developed some robotic phalanges, called ROMEO (“RObotic Modular Endoskeleton Optical”), with flexible materials and similar sensing technology as the palm. The fingers have something called “passive compliance,” which is when a robot can adjust to forces naturally, without needing motors or extra control.
Can robots learn from machine dreams? - MIT News
2024年11月19日 · LucidSim is an AI-powered simulator that trained a robot dog to perform parkour using generated images without any real-world data. This approach, from MIT CSAIL researchers, scales up training data, helping robots transfer skills to the real world without additional fine-tuning.
