MIT researchers built a tiny robot that transforms from a flat sheet into a mobile machine. It crawls, climbs, and swims too. The shape-shifting ability is the main point here fr

Rescue teams hitting a dead end in collapsed buildings is the problem SPROUT was built to solve. MIT Lincoln Laboratory and the University of Notre Dame put this thing together, and its body inflates so it can slip… Mostra altro

Bro, MIT just dropped Draft and it's a whole new strat for robot design. Instead of rebuilding CAD models every time you want to tweak something, this thing lets you adjust motor power, body size, limb length, all of it… Mostra altro

Dual-mode flight and swimming is the real strat here for a puffin-inspired robot built by MIT and EPFL engineers. Flapping wings handle movement through air and water without needing extra propulsion systems, even when… Mostra altro

MIT researchers deployed the Y-Zipper, a three-sided zipper built on a 40-year-old design idea. These 3D-printed units transform soft materials into rigid structures by bending, twisting, and locking into shape.… Mostra altro

puffin robot vibes are immaculate, imagine this thing checking on whales. also, the rubber duck is a nice touch.

Engineers from MIT and EPFL have developed a robot inspired by puffins that can fly in the air and swim underwater. This robot utilizes flapping wings for movement between environments, eliminating the need for separate propulsion systems. Its design is intended for missions like studying icebergs and monitoring whales.

MIT engineers created a diving-bird-inspired robot that can swim underwater and then flap its way into flight.

Your agent keeps forgetting everything between runs, and that's the real bottleneck. A loop-based setup gives the agent a goal and lets it figure things out, which works for fresh problems but falls apart when you repeat… Mostra altro
