…a reality now thanks to groundbreaking research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. How do these robots work? Why are researchers, scientists and engineers so interested in them? How does self-building 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…

…non-profit organization, MassRobotics supports initiatives to advance robotics in Massachusetts and elsewhere. The MassRobotics AMR Interoperability Working Group includes a number of robotics and software vendors, including InOrbit, Vecna Robotics, and Locus Robotics. Their stated intent is to enable any company to deploy robots and other equipment that can work together in the same warehouse or factory space. Initially, the working group decided to keep the protocol simple so all companies could easily adopt it. As such, it focused on sharing basic robot-to-robot information rather than task management. “Another piece of software, such as a fleet management system, can understand…

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Brown University have developed new approaches that improve the accuracy of a material testing technique by using machine learning. Nano-indentation—the process of poking a sample of a material with a sharp needle-like tip to see how the material responds by deforming—is important in many manufacturing applications, but its poor accuracy in obtaining certain key mechanical properties of a material, has prevented it from being used widely in industry. Using the standard nano-indentation process and feeding its experimentally measured data to a neural network machine learning system,…
