路 new insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. 路 mit associate professor luca carlone works to give robots a more human-like perception of their environment, so they can interact with people safely and seamlessly. 路 robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies neural jacobian fields, developed by mit csail researchers, can learn to control any robot from a single camera, without any other sensors. Emergency responders can use the robot to navigate and map areas under rubble to plan rescue operations. 路 sprout is a flexible robot built by mit lincoln laboratory and notre dame researchers to assist in disaster response. 路 a vision-based control system called neural jacobian fields enables soft and rigid robots to learn self-supervised motion control using only a monocular camera. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables. The system, developed by mit csail researchers, combines 3d scene reconstruction with embodied representation and closed-loop control.
