- Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to . . .
A vision-based control system called Neural Jacobian Fields enables soft and rigid robots to learn self-supervised motion control using only a monocular camera The system, developed by MIT CSAIL researchers, combines 3D scene reconstruction with embodied representation and closed-loop control
- 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”
- Hopping gives this tiny robot a leg up - MIT News
A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for flying microbots

Technology The best and most ridiculous robots of 2025 in pictures Some of the world's most advanced robots showed off their skills at tech shows and sporting events, doing everything from cooking
- Robotic system zeroes in on objects most relevant for helping humans . . .
MIT roboticists developed a way to cut through data noise and help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans The system could be used in smart manufacturing and warehouse settings where robots would work alongside and assist humans
- Expanding robot perception - MIT News
MIT Associate Professor Luca Carlone works to give robots a more human-like perception of their environment, so they can interact with people safely and seamlessly
- A flexible robot can help emergency responders search through rubble
