Reading robots' minds

Published on Oct 28, 2014


A new visualization system developed by MIT researchers, combines ceiling-mounted projectors with motion-capture technology and animation software to project a robot's intentions in real time. (Learn more about the system:)

The researchers say the system may help speed up the development of self-driving cars, package-delivering drones, and other autonomous, route-planning vehicles.

Improving robot dexterity

Published on Jul 30, 2015


Engineers at MIT have come up with a way to impart more dexterity to simple robotic grippers using the environment as a helping hand. They developed a model that predicts the force with which a robotic gripper needs to push against various fixtures in the environment in order to adjust its grasp. (Learn more about their system: )
