Daniela Rus has spent her career breaking barriers—scientific, social, and material—in her quest to build machines that amplify rather than replace human capability. She made robotics her life’s work, ...

Thanks to new technologies like artificial intelligence, scientists are increasingly freed from the constraints of the laboratory. It raises questions about how much humans should outsource to robots.

AI thrives on data but feeding it the right data is harder than it seems. As enterprises scale their AI initiatives, they face the challenge of managing diverse data pipelines, ensuring proximity to ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that let soft muscle pull on hard plastic with far more force and control. By ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. When Rodney Brooks talks about robotics and artificial intelligence, you should listen. Currently the Panasonic Professor of ...

A new study out of MIT has created an autonomously functioning robot that can act like a lab technician to test materials, in particular for the properties needed to make solar cells. It can collect ...
