Dexterous robotic hands manipulate thousands of objects with ease
Model-free framework reorients over 2,000 diverse objects with a hand facing both upward and downward, in a step toward more human-like manipulation.
Giving robots social skills
A new machine-learning system helps robots understand and perform certain social interactions.
Toward speech recognition for uncommon spoken languages
Reducing the complexity of a powerful machine-learning model may help level the playing field for automatic speech-recognition around the world.
Avoiding shortcut solutions in artificial intelligence
A new method forces a machine learning model to focus on more data when learning a task, which leads to more reliable predictions.

Those selected for these positions receive additional support to pursue their research and develop their careers.
Artificial intelligence sheds light on how the brain processes language
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain.
At Mass STEM Week kickoff, MIT RAISE announces Day of AI
Artificial intelligence is top-of-mind as Governor Baker, President Reif encourage students to “see yourself in STEM.”
One giant leap for the mini cheetah
A new control system, demonstrated using MIT’s robotic mini cheetah, enables four-legged robots to jump across uneven terrain in real-time.
How the brain navigates cities
We seem to be wired to calculate not the shortest path but the “pointiest” one, facing us toward our destination as much as possible.
Putting artificial intelligence at the heart of health care — with help from MIT
Cardiologist Demilade Adedinsewo is using her MIT Professional Education experience to advance cardiovascular care at the Mayo Clinic.
Accelerating the discovery of new materials for 3D printing
A new machine-learning system costs less, generates less waste, and can be more innovative than manual discovery methods.
