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.

Campus gathers with Vice President for Energy and Climate Evelyn Wang to explore the Climate Project at MIT, make connections, and exchange ideas.

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

Mechanical metamaterials research demands interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation, say researchers from MechE's Portela Lab.

The Tactile Vega-Lite system, developed at MIT CSAIL, streamlines the tactile chart design process; could help educators efficiently create these graphics and aid designers in making precise changes.

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

The system uses reconfigurable electromechanical building blocks to create structural electronics.

MIT researchers developed a fiber computer and networked several of them into a garment that learns to identify physical activities.

MAD Design Fellow Zane Schemmer writes algorithms that optimize overall function, minimize carbon footprint, and produce a manufacturable design.

The Thermochromorph printmaking technique developed by CSAIL researchers allows images to transition into each other through changes in temperature.
