…Scientists from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) recently created a new algorithm to help a robot find efficient motion plans to ensure physical safety of its human counterpart. In this case, the robot helped put a jacket on a human, which could prove to be a powerful tool in expanding assistance for those with disabilities or limited mobility. “Developing algorithms to prevent physical harm without unnecessarily impacting the task efficiency is a critical challenge,” said Shen Li, an MIT Ph.D. student and a lead author on a new paper about the research. “By allowing robots to make…

…Intelligence Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT CSAIL). In addition, Xiao was an assistant professor at Princeton University and the founding director of the Princeton Computer Vision and Robotics Labs from 2013 to 2016. Shenzhen pioneers RoboTaxi testing in China AutoX's fully driverless RoboTaxi service has been “well received” by Shenzhen residents and officials alike, according to Ms. Wang, a representative of the company's operations team. Within the first 100 days of operation, AutoX RoboTaxi has won loyal users from the traditional ride-hailing market, she said. AutoX is the second permit holder for California Department of Motor Vehicle’s…

…out from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) in 2017, is based on research led by Professor Wojciech Matusik and intellectual property licensed from MIT. Inkbit saw reason to create a new platform for 3D printing because while they believed there was substantial opportunity for ink jet AM capabilities, the technology was only being used for prototyping, not production applications since it wasn’t able to easily take advantage of engineering-grade materials like silicone and epoxy. “Today, material used for ink jet printers are not usable in production form—they are only useful for making prototypes,” says Davide Marini, Inkbit…

…director of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Pratt and Rus will be honored at a special ceremony held in conjunction with the Automate 2017 Exhibition and Conference and the International Symposium on Robotics. The award is named for Joseph F. Engelberger, known throughout the world as the ”father of robotics.” Engelberger was founder and president of Unimation, Inc., the world’s first industrial robot manufacturer. The Engelberger Robotics awards are presented to individuals for excellence in technology development, application, education and leadership in the robotics industry. Each winner receives a $5,000…
