Teaching a robot its limits, to complete open-ended tasks safely
The “PRoC3S” method helps an LLM create a viable action plan by testing each step in a simulation. This strategy could eventually aid in-home robots to complete more ambiguous chore requests.
Researchers reduce bias in AI models while preserving or improving accuracy
A new technique identifies and removes the training examples that contribute most to a machine-learning model’s failures.
Daniela Rus wins John Scott Award
MIT CSAIL director and EECS professor named a co-recipient of the honor for her robotics research, which has expanded our understanding of what a robot can be.
Introducing MIT HEALS, a life sciences initiative to address pressing health challenges
The MIT Health and Life Sciences Collaborative will bring together researchers from across the Institute to deliver health care solutions at scale.
A new way to create realistic 3D shapes using generative AI
Researchers propose a simple fix to an existing technique that could help artists, designers, and engineers create better 3D models.
Photonic processor could enable ultrafast AI computations with extreme energy efficiency
This new device uses light to perform the key operations of a deep neural network on a chip, opening the door to high-speed processors that can learn in real-time.
MIT’s Science Policy Initiative holds 14th annual Executive Visit Days
MIT students traveled to Washington to speak to representatives from federal executive agencies.
Decarbonizing heavy industry with thermal batteries
MIT spinout Electrified Thermal Solutions has developed an electrically conductive firebrick that stores heat at high enough temperatures to power industrial processes.
Improving health, one machine learning system at a time

The MIT Advanced Vehicle Technology Consortium provides data-driven insights into driver behavior, along with trust in AI and advanced vehicle technology.
Consortium led by MIT, Harvard University, and Mass General Brigham spurs development of 408 MW of renewable energy
Projects in Texas and North Dakota support clean energy transition as MIT moves closer to 2026 net-zero goal.
A nonflammable battery to power a safer, decarbonized future
The startup Alsym Energy, co-founded by Professor Kripa Varanasi, is hoping its batteries can link renewables with the industrial sector and beyond.
Reality check on technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the air
Study finds many climate-stabilization plans are based on questionable assumptions about the future cost and deployment of “direct air capture” and therefore may not bring about promised reductions.
