An MIT robot powered by a single layer of living muscle cells swam through a watery maze, following a light held in a researcher’s hand. It is slow, tiny and nowhere near ready for the open ocean, but ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineers developed a robot powered by living muscle cells that move in response to ...

MIT engineers have developed a paper-thin swimming robot powered by a single layer of ...

MIT researchers built a robotic optics lab that assembled a working laser in 30 minutes, pointing toward more autonomous scientific research.

MIT researchers have developed a robotic laboratory that can independently assemble and align optics experiments. In a ...

MIT’s DAAAM gives robots long-term memory by attaching language descriptions to 3D maps. You can ask “where did I leave my wallet?” and it knows. Robots are still surprisingly bad at remembering where ...

MIT’s robotic optics lab automates experiments, freeing scientists to study materials and explore quantum applications.

MIT has developed a new kind of robot that can essentially extend itself -- "growing" in a way that's surprisingly similar to how a young plant grows upward. The way researchers accomplished this uses ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers developed a robotic optics laboratory. This system autonomously assembles ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Humanoid robots struggling with tasks like grasping a cup have a new teacher — a person wearing an ultrasound wristband that captures the movement of muscles, tendons and ...
