The new table tennis bot. Mit roboticists developed a way to cut through data noise and help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans. The physicsgen system developed by mit csail researchers tailors robot training data to specific machines, helping them find the most efficient movements for a task.
It may also enable robots to. A new system enables a robot to “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously, allowing the robot to solve a multistep problem in a few seconds. The researchers say the new interface offers increased training flexibility that could expand the type of users and “teachers” who interact with robots.
Mit engineers developed artificial tendons that could connect robotic skeletons and biological muscle tissue.
