Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world, engineers have built tiny walkers, swimmers and gripping devices powered ...

Tiny microrobots are learning to fly with insect-like speed and control, thanks to new AI-driven technology developed at MIT.

MIT engineers develop artificial hydrogel tendons to enhance strength, speed, and durability in biohybrid robotic system ...

When Rodney Brooks talks about robotics and artificial intelligence, you should listen. Currently the Panasonic Professor of Robotics Emeritus at MIT, he also co-founded three key companies, including ...

A new study out of MIT has created an autonomously functioning robot that can act like a lab technician to test materials, in particular for the properties needed to make solar cells. It can collect ...
