MIT CSAIL researchers combined GenAI and a physics simulation engine to refine robot designs. The result: a machine that out-jumped a robot designed by humans.

Working with the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, researchers show bridge corrosion can be repaired on-site using additive manufacturing.

MIT engineers developed a technique for making intricate structures with supports that can be dissolved and reused instead of thrown away.

Precise and flexible 3D manufacturing techniques make it possible to individually tailor everything from prosthetics to drugs.

A new method could enable stretchable ceramics, glass, and metals, for tear-proof textiles or stretchy semiconductors.

TactStyle, a system developed by CSAIL researchers, uses image prompts to replicate both the visual appearance and tactile properties of 3D models.

“InteRecon” enables users to capture items in a mobile app and reconstruct their interactive features in mixed reality. The tool could assist in education, medical environments, museums, and more.

“Xstrings” method enables users to produce cable-driven objects, automatically assemble bionic robots, sculptures, and dynamic fashion designs.

MIT engineers developed a way to grow artificial tissues that look and act like their natural counterparts.
