A neural blueprint for human-like intelligence in soft robots
An AI control system co-developed by SMART researchers enables soft robotic arms to learn a broad set of motions once and adapt instantly to changing conditions without retraining.
Parking-aware navigation system could prevent frustration and emissions
By minimizing the need to drive around looking for a parking spot, this technique can save drivers up to 35 minutes — and give them a realistic estimate of total travel time.
How MIT OpenCourseWare is fueling one learner’s passion for education
Gustavo Barboza’s learning journey took him from his native Colombia to the French military, and now back to the classroom. MIT’s free resources have helped guide him as he studies electrical engineering.
New study unveils the mechanism behind “boomerang” earthquakes
These ricocheting ruptures may be more common than previously thought.
Personalization features can make LLMs more agreeable
The context of long-term conversations can cause an LLM to begin mirroring the user’s viewpoints, possibly reducing accuracy or creating a virtual echo-chamber.
3D-printing platform rapidly produces complex electric machines
Overcoming challenges of 3D printing with multiple functional materials, MIT researchers fabricated an electric linear motor in minutes.
