Supporting sustainability, digital health, and the future of work

The MIT and Accenture Convergence Initiative for Industry and Technology selects three new research projects to support.

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.

A simpler method for learning to control a robot

Researchers develop a machine-learning technique that can efficiently learn to control a robot, leading to better performance with fewer data.

MIT scientists build a system that can generate AI models for biology research

BioAutoMATED, an open-source, automated machine-learning platform, aims to help democratize artificial intelligence for research labs.

Researchers develop novel AI-based estimator for manufacturing medicine

A collaborative research team from the MIT-Takeda Program combined physics and machine learning to characterize rough particle surfaces in pharmaceutical pills and powders.

MIT-Takeda Program heads into fourth year with crop of 10 new projects

The program leverages MIT’s research expertise and Takeda’s industrial know-how for research in artificial intelligence and medicine.
