Despite fears about robots replacing humans at work, there are still plenty of things humans can do far better than machines. That’s fine with Robust AI, a startup building robots designed to complement what humans do best.The company’s mobile robot, named Carter, resembles a utility cart on wheels and is designed to fit seamlessly alongside
The use of algorithms to design structures has led to new parts optimized for ultralight aircraft, high-bandwidth antennas, and F1 racing cars.But the best algorithmic design techniques still require lots of computation and time: Users only see the final design after it’s complete, after which they often must start the design process all over again

Humans are intuitive by nature. We can sense meaning beyond the literal words that we encounter. Now, a new artificial intelligence-assisted learning platform developed by MIT engineers is enabling robots to read larger meaning into a human’s natural language commands. In a study to be presented at the annual Conference on Robot Learning this month, researchers

Today, a scientist who wants to simulate a physical process must pick the right tool for that one job, such as a solver built for flowing water or another designed to model the way a protein folds. Each one is hand-coded around the specific equations that dictate how that process behaves.Researchers at MIT, the University
At the MIT School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (SHASS) 75th Anniversary Symposium, speakers celebrated the school’s value and contributions, while exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming many aspects of teaching, research, and society.The symposium was held Sept. 24-25 in the Linde Music Building’s Thomas Tull Concert Hall. Scholars, students, staff, and alumni from

A new AI system that excels at challenging games with hidden information could someday help human decision-makers select ideal strategies to outfox opponents in complicated situations like military maneuvers.Using advances in machine-learning, researchers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon University, New York University, and Stanford University developed an AI that defeated top-ranked human players of the board

AI tools are increasingly replacing human judgements in some settings. For instance, resume screening algorithms are often used in hiring, where they may improve efficiency and consistency in decision-making.But some scholars have raised concerns that the adoption of automated systems could eventually result in one algorithm being used to make all decisions in a particular

Self-driving cars are often controlled by deep learning models that sometimes fail in unexpected situations. For instance, the car might inexplicably brake and block the path of an oncoming emergency vehicle. A human driver or passenger may need to react rapidly to prevent a collision.To help humans better anticipate a vehicle’s mistakes, researchers from MIT

Artificial intelligence models are jacks of many trades, including writing, generating images, and creating 3D models. But they aren’t as helpful when it comes to testing robots or designs for vehicles in diverse environments, since they don’t understand physics as well as they do pixels or text.To build an AI system that can reliably simulate
With a feel for physics, AI models simulate a wider range of real-world scenarios Read More »
A one-size-fits-all approach likely isn’t the best strategy when designing artificial intelligence systems that assist users in disease diagnosis.A new study by researchers at MIT and elsewhere found that, while AI assistance generally improved the accuracy of non-experts and clinicians in diagnosing skin diseases, AI explainability methods had different impacts depending on the users’ knowledge
