With a new technique, a robot can reason efficiently about moving objects using more than just its fingertips.

With this new approach, a tailsitter aircraft, ideal for search-and-rescue missions, can plan and execute complex, high-speed acrobatic maneuvers.

The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing awards seed grants to seven interdisciplinary projects exploring AI-augmented management.

If an astronaut were to die on Mars, neither cremation nor burial would be good options.

A new technique helps a nontechnical user understand why a robot failed, and then fine-tune it with minimal effort to perform a task effectively.

A new AI-based approach for controlling autonomous robots satisfies the often-conflicting goals of safety and stability.

Astronauts should wait at least three years after longer missions to give their brains time to recover, a new study suggests.

Technology demonstrations show the machine’s major components achieve the required performance.

Robotic parts could be assembled into nimble spider bots for exploring lava tubes or heavy-duty elephant bots for transporting solar panels.

By keeping data fresh, the system could help robots inspect buildings or search disaster zones.
