MIT researchers “speak objects into existence” using AI and robotics MIT researchers at the School of Architecture and Planning developed a speech-to-reality system that combines generative AI, natural language processing, and robotic assembly to fabricate physical objects from spoken prompts
Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches . . . - MIT News A 3D-printed robotic arm holds a pencil as it trains using random movements and a single camera — part of a new control system called Neural Jacobian Fields (NJF) Rather than relying on sensors or hand-coded models, NJF allows robots to learn how their bodies move in response to motor commands purely from visual observation, offering a pathway to more flexible, affordable, and self-aware
Artificial tendons give muscle-powered robots a boost MIT engineers developed artificial tendons that could connect robotic skeletons and biological muscle tissue Made from tough and flexible hydrogel, the tendons could be used in various bio-hybrid robots
A new model offers robots precise pick-and-place solutions Pick-and-place machines are a type of automated equipment used to place objects into structured, organized locations These machines are used for a variety of applications — from electronics assembly to packaging, bin picking, and even inspection — but many current pick-and-place solutions are limited Current solutions lack “precise generalization,” or the ability to solve many tasks
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT News The system can automatically build the object from a set of prefabricated parts using robotic assembly It can also iterate on the design based on feedback from the user The researchers used this end-to-end system to fabricate furniture, including chairs and shelves, from two types of premade components
Vine-inspired robotic gripper gently lifts heavy and fragile objects Like a growing vine, a new robotic gripper can snake around and lift a variety of objects, including a glass vase and a watermelon, offering a gentler approach than conventional gripper designs A larger version of the robo-tendrils can also safely lift a human out of bed
