Robotics | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology 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
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”
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
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
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
Teaching robots to map large environments - MIT News MIT researchers developed a powerful system that could help robots safely navigate unpredictable environments using only images captured from their onboard cameras
