- Surgical robots take step towards fully autonomous operations
Technology Surgical robots take step towards fully autonomous operations An AI system trained on videos of operations successfully guided a robot to carry out gall bladder surgery on a dead pig
- 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

Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies Neural Jacobian Fields, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, can learn to control any robot from a single camera, without any other sensors
- This fast and agile robotic insect could someday aid in mechanical . . .
New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables
- A flexible robot can help emergency responders search through rubble
SPROUT is a flexible robot built by MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Notre Dame researchers to assist in disaster response Emergency responders can use the robot to navigate and map areas under rubble to plan rescue operations
- 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”
- Helping robots practice skills independently to adapt to unfamiliar . . .
A robot rapidly specializes its skills using parameter policy learning, where the machine can rapidly specialize at specific, smaller actions within a long-horizon task The MIT CSAIL algorithm enables autonomous practice to improve at mobile-manipulation activities
- A better way to control shape-shifting soft robots - MIT News
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 shape-shifting soft robots
