…more picks. Mountz enlisted the help of his former MIT roommate Peter Wurman and Raffaello D’Andrea, who served as the faculty advisor and system architect of Cornell University’s robot soccer team. “I was a professor coming up for tenure,” Wurman told Robotics 24/7. “Mick pitched something interesting to me, but if the company failed, we'd have great material for years of research.” The trio went to work building a system. The result was a mobile robot and pod shelf designed to carry multiple items. “Once we decided that we should move orders and not just products, we worked out the…

…a simple block-based visual language for kids developed at MIT Media Lab, which was influential in its design. Task Canvas allows users to show the actions of the robot, as well as all the other devices in an automation cell as blocks in a flowchart. These include grippers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and machine tools. The user can easily create powerful logic by tying these blocks together — without writing a single line of code, said READY Robotics. The interface offers nonprogrammers a more “drag-and-drop” experience for programming and deploying robots. Users can work directly on the factory floor with…

…opponent dribbling with determination would feel familiar, according to MIT researchers, who have developed a new quadruped system. While a human-robot soccer game is not a common occurrence, nor is it close to a well-matched adversary to Lionel Messi, the dribbling system is impressive in the wild, noted the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Researchers at MIT's Improbable Artificial Intelligence Lab, part of its Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), have developed a legged robot that can dribble a soccer ball under the same conditions as humans. The robot used a mixture of onboard sensing and computing to traverse different…

…modular robotics work? In November 2022, researchers at the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms published a paper detailing their breakthrough modular robotics system. The project is ongoing but already shows incredible potential for many applications. Modular robotics uses a set of core parts to assemble robots, which can easily swap out and add to one another. MIT’s project takes things a step further by enabling the robot to be self-building. It can autonomously assemble structures like a wall or bridge, as well as bigger versions of itself. The robot uses five modular components — a “voxel” face, a control…
