New AI “copilot” helps engineers design better structures
The system asks humans for feedback to increase trust in machine-generated designs for buildings and bridges.
Helping robots fit into the human workplace
Founded by Anthony Jules ’92, SM ’92 and Professor Emeritus Rodney Brooks, Robust AI’s robots are designed to collaborate with humans in factories and warehouses.
A single AI model simulates the behavior of many substances, from sliding sand to folding proteins
By learning how matter moves, the WorldParticle system could assist with developing soft robots, medicines, and more.
AI-assisted learning platform helps robots reason beyond literal commands
The new approach, known as FLEX, could lead to more intuitive, interactive household and assistive robots.
New system gives users more control over their online experience
The Social.Wiki framework enables anyone to easily edit social websites within the system, while allowing them to choose the content they see.
Reinforcing the value of human understanding at MIT
During the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences’ 75th Anniversary Symposium, President Sally Kornbluth said “MIT has never needed your particular insight and guidance more than we do now.”
Hiroshi Ishii honored for contributions to global design and human-computer interaction
MIT Media Lab professor received the IDSA Special Achievement Award for three decades of research integrating physical and digital environments.
This game-playing AI is the new champ at Stratego
Able to defeat top-ranked human players and more efficient than other models, the new system could help decision-makers in military maneuvers or business negotiations.
The effects of an “algorithmic monoculture” depend on the details
In a study focusing on hiring decisions, MIT researchers found the use of a single algorithm by many firms could benefit job seekers in certain situations.
System helps humans predict when self-driving cars will make mistakes
A new method, called CW-Net, translates the reasoning process of an autonomous vehicle’s AI system into understandable concepts that explain its behavior.
MIT engineers create a system for building shape-changing smart devices
Dubbed “bifur-circuits,” these interactive building blocks could be used to develop reconfigurable robotic grippers or customized assistive devices.
MIT engineers design a better controller for operating construction diggers
The new, more intuitive system could speed up the training process for excavator operators.
With a feel for physics, AI models simulate a wider range of real-world scenarios
“GeoPT” helps AI models understand the basics of physics so they can simulate how objects respond to things like wind and water more efficiently and accurately.
Personalized physical therapy: Stroke rehabilitation powered by AI
MIT engineers introduce an adaptive physical therapy system that uses generative AI to learn from physical therapists and interactively support stroke patients.
These 3D-printed objects can tell you if they’re being used properly
The “ShiftLens” design and fabrication system creates objects that change their surface appearance based on user interactions, without any electronics.
