Computer-aided creativity in robot design Researchers' new system optimizes the shape of robots for traversing various terrain types Date: November 30, 2020 ...

A novel MIT-developed system makes it possible to design robot shapes and determine its optimal ability to traverse a particular terrain. The simulation-based system is called RoboGrammar and is a ...

Text2Robot leverages emerging AI technologies to convert user text descriptions into physical robots. The process begins with a text-to-3D generative model, which creates a 3D physical design of ...

Robots that have this computer as part of their design will be completely made of soft parts. Soft robotics has “really come a long way over the past decade,” says study first author Daniel ...

It's not easy building robots if you don't have the education and the training. A team of researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), however, have ...

Mechanical and civil engineers have created a new mathematical method to design better structures, machines and versatile computer-controlled robots called "robot manipulators." ...

It operates out of a former aircraft hangar in northern Massachusetts, where its vast computer-controlled machines focus 100,000 watts of invisible laser light onto a bed of powdered metal.

The computer tested each successive generation of primitive robots to distinguish which could crawl the farthest. Then, the program itself refined the robots' design, replicating the process of ...

It’s a tool from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) that aims to let people design, simulate, and then build simple robots with a “3D print, then fold ...

At 25, I went back to school and studied computer science and robotics. ... Once we showed that we could design living robots—which we have called Xenobots—to behave in specific ways, ...

Biological robots programmed through their design to do some important function. Joining me now to talk about that, Josh Bongard. He’s professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of ...

RoboGrammar is a new system that automates and optimizes robot design. The system, developed at MIT, creates arthropod-inspired robots for traversing a variety of terrains. It could spawn more ...
