PVC pipe, three motors and a tethered switch box. That’s the recipe for this underwater robot. It’s SeaPerch, launched by MIT ...

The swimmer has no motor, propeller or battery. Instead, its two soft fins are coated with a single sheet of living mouse ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers developed a robot powered by living muscle cells that move in response to flashes of light.

An MIT robot powered by a single layer of living muscle cells swam through a watery maze, following a light held in a researcher’s hand. It is slow, tiny and nowhere near ready for the open ocean, but ...

MIT researchers built a robotic optics lab that assembled a working laser in 30 minutes, pointing toward more autonomous scientific research.

MIT engineers created a paper-thin swimming robot that uses light-controlled living muscle cells to move and steer through ...

A robot has assembled a working tabletop laser cavity in less than 30 minutes, handling the precise alignment usually done manually. Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT's) researchers have ...

Scientists around the world have been taking cues from the best technologist – nature – to design robots that can be helpful for areas where humans cannot reach. Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...

Researchers at MIT created an AI-powered simulator capable of generating limitless, realistic training data for robots. The system, named LucidSim, uses AI-generated images to train a robot dog in ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I'm a senior tech contributor who writes about science and technology MIT CSAIL researchers have developed a new system that ...

Why would you want a robot to see inside a sealed box? Digging deeper beyond the initial creepy thought, a new breakthrough from MIT could soon let warehouse robots do something pretty remarkable.
