A crossroads for computing at MIT
The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing building will form a new cluster of connectivity across a spectrum of disciplines in computing and artificial intelligence.
Aeronautical and astronautical engineering
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.
Safer skies with self-flying helicopters
Autonomous helicopters made by Rotor Technologies, a startup led by MIT PhDs, take the human out of risky commercial missions.
Stratospheric safety standards: How aviation could steer regulation of AI in health
An interdisciplinary team of researchers thinks health AI could benefit from some of the aviation industry’s long history of hard-won lessons that have created one of the safest activities today.
Autonomous innovations in an uncertain world
Jonathan How and his team at the Aerospace Controls Laboratory develop planning algorithms that allow autonomous vehicles to navigate dynamic environments without colliding.
AI helps robots manipulate objects with their whole bodies
With a new technique, a robot can reason efficiently about moving objects using more than just its fingertips.
Artificial intelligence for augmentation and productivity
The MIT Schwarzman College of Computing awards seed grants to seven interdisciplinary projects exploring AI-augmented management.
A faster way to teach a robot
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.
3 Questions: Honing robot perception and mapping
Luca Carlone and Jonathan How of MIT LIDS discuss how future robots might perceive and interact with their environment.
Educating national security leaders on artificial intelligence
Experts from MIT’s School of Engineering, Schwarzman College of Computing, and Sloan Executive Education educate national security leaders in AI fundamentals.
