Researchers at MIT created an AI-powered simulator capable of generating limitless, realistic training data for robots. The system, named LucidSim, uses AI-generated images to train a robot dog in ...

Researchers at MIT CSAIL have created a new soft robotic system, RoboGrocery that uses vision technology and soft tactile sensors to determine how to pack an item without damage. Researchers from ...

Self-checkouts may take on a new meaning sometime in the future. Instead of having to scan the items yourself, a grocery packing robot may be able to do it for you. It sounds like science fiction, and ...

The first self-checkout system was installed in 1986 in a Kroger grocery store just outside of Atlanta. It took several decades, but the technology has finally proliferated across the U.S. Given the ...

Researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have a new experimental robot. This one doesn't self-assemble from smaller robots or see with its feet—it doesn't ...

You don’t have to be a kid to get excited about a “robot garden” with tons of fast-changing LED lights and over 100 origami roots that crawl, swim and blossom like flowers, but MIT has created such a ...

Forward-looking: Researchers from MIT's Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are developing a robotic grocery bagging system that could one day show up in your local ...
