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.

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.

Ideal for propelling tiny satellites, the lightweight devices could be produced on board a spacecraft and cost much less than traditional thrusters.

With technology developed at MIT, 6K is helping to bring critical materials production back to the U.S. without toxic byproducts.
