Most people think of the waterfront as the edge of the city. A team of MIT researchers sees it as a dynamic, Lego-like ...

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, ...

MIT researchers huddled around a humanoid robot in a mock kitchen. The robot slowly scooped lemonade powder out of a bowl into a pitcher of water, mixed the liquid, and poured the lemonade into a ...

Inspired by nature, engineers at MIT and EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, have created a new “flapping-wing aerial-aquatic ...

In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long been capable of moving vehicles, assembling chips, and reaching the far ...
