Expanding robot perception
Associate Professor Luca Carlone is working to give robots a more human-like awareness of their environment.
MIT engineers grow “high-rise” 3D chips
An electronic stacking technique could exponentially increase the number of transistors on chips, enabling more efficient AI hardware.
Want to design the car of the future? Here are 8,000 designs to get you started.
MIT engineers developed the largest open-source dataset of car designs, including their aerodynamics, that could speed design of eco-friendly cars and electric vehicles.
New AI tool generates realistic satellite images of future flooding
The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms.
Helping robots zero in on the objects that matter
A new method called Clio enables robots to quickly map a scene and identify the items they need to complete a given set of tasks.
New computer vision method helps speed up screening of electronic materials
The technique characterizes a material’s electronic properties 85 times faster than conventional methods.
MIT-derived algorithm helps forecast the frequency of extreme weather
The new approach “nudges” existing climate simulations closer to future reality.
Engineering household robots to have a little common sense
With help from a large language model, MIT engineers enabled robots to self-correct after missteps and carry on with their chores.
To excel at engineering design, generative AI must learn to innovate, study finds
AI models that prioritize similarity falter when asked to design something completely new.
A pose-mapping technique could remotely evaluate patients with cerebral palsy
The machine-learning method works on most mobile devices and could be expanded to assess other motor disorders outside of the doctor’s office.
