MIT scientists have created tiny, soft-bodied robots that can be controlled with a weak magnet. The robots are formed from rubbery magnetic spirals and can be programmed to walk, crawl, and swim in response to an easy-to-apply magnetic field.  The post These tiny soft robots can be controlled with weak magnets appeared first on The […]

Evolving humanoid robotic dexterity from toddler to adult

October 23rd, 2023 |

Something’s been forgotten in the race to build general-purpose humanoid robots. Roboticists are forgetting to answer this basic question: What does it mean to be general purpose? The post Evolving humanoid robotic dexterity from toddler to adult appeared first on The Robot Report.

MIT framework allows robots to learn faster in new environments

October 18th, 2023 |
Researchers at MIT have developed a system that allows people without technical knowledge to fine-tune a robot’s ability to perform tasks.

A group of researchers at MIT have developed a framework that could help robots learn faster in new environments without needing a user to have technical knowledge. This technique helps users without technical knowledge understand why a robot might have failed to perform a task and then allows them to fine-tune the robot with minimal […]
