Many groups at MIT work on robotics including the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the MIT Media Lab, just to name a few.
A “cheetah” robot designed at MIT may soon outpace its animal counterparts in running efficiency: In treadmill tests, the researchers have found that it wastes very little energy as it trots continuously for up to an hour and a half.
Jacqueline Durazo, a mechanical engineering major, discusses her work building robots and participating in pageants.
A recording of the webcast of the competition, which took place on Jan. 30, 2013.
Researchers at Georgia Tech and the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT have developed a way to automate the process of finding and recording information from neurons in the living brain. The researchers have shown that a robotic arm guided by a cell-detecting ...
This video shows a simulation of a vehicle driving on two types of off-road surfaces. One vehicle is on a flat, sloped surface, and the other vehicle is on a rough, sloped surface. It can be seen that the roughness causes one vehicle to rollover. Read more at the ...
This video demonstrates a robotic manipulator that is robust, high-force, low-cost, and highly articulated without employing traditional actuators mounted at the manipulator joints. Rather, local tunable stiffness is coupled with off-board spooler motors and ...
This video contains animations of the two simulation results described in a conference paper presented at ICRA 2010. The results show tip-up of a vehicle on a surface with two different friction coefficients. In the first simulation, the surface friction coefficient is ...

Rod Brooks of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) gives his views on robotics and a look back at some of his previous robot creations.
Student-built vehicles compete in a 50 meter drag race and a climb to the top of a 4-storey parking garage. The products of this semester included go-karts, scooters, longboards, and even a set of powered roller skates.
