MIT researchers “speak objects into existence” using AI and robotics

Generative AI and robotics are moving us ever closer to the day when we can ask for an object and have it created within a few minutes. In fact, MIT researchers have developed a speech-to-reality system, an AI-driven workflow that allows them to provide input to a robotic arm and “speak objects into existence,” creating […]

A smarter way for large language models to think about hard problems

To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.But common approaches that give LLMs this capability set a fixed computational budget for every problem, regardless of how complex it is. This means the LLM might waste computational resources on simpler questions

MIT engineers design an aerial microrobot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can’t reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble.So far, aerial microrobots have only been able

Helping power-system planners prepare for an unknown future

A new computer modeling tool developed by an MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) research team will help infrastructure planners working in the electricity and other energy-intensive sectors better predict and prepare for future needs and conditions as they develop plans for power generation capacity, transmission lines, and other necessary infrastructure. The tool could reduce the amount

New control system teaches soft robots the art of staying safe

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to avoid contact with the environment as much as possible and stay far away from humans for safety reasons, this arm senses

Muslim travel in the modern era: how brands cater to serve cultures more inclusively

The global landscape of Muslim travel has fundamentally changed in the post-pandemic era. We are no longer talking about a niche market but about a dynamic, rapidly expanding demographic reshaping global tourism. We recently worked on a co-branded report with Have Halal, Will Travel (HHWT), which included an analysis of 1.4 million data points on

How to rebuild brand trust through authentic communication

During reputational crises, many brands find themselves pressed into strategies that are entirely reactive. However, a better understanding of a brand’s audience and stakeholders – how they communicate and what they value – would empower brands and the teams running their messaging to respond more authentically, helping comms land in the right way at the

How AI is Reshaping Creative Fields: Music, Writing & Art in the Age of Algorithms.

The Rise of AI in Creative Domains Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved far beyond number-crunching and automation. Today, it’s playing a transformative role in traditionally human-centric fields like music, writing, and visual art. Algorithms are composing melodies, generating stories, and producing visuals that rival those created by human hands. As this shift unfolds, it prompts
