Drones navigate unseen environments with liquid neural networks

A participant plays table tennis against graduate student Amanda Studnicki while having his brain imaged via an EEG cap. The experiment revealed big differences in how our brains respond to human and machine opponents during sports.

Table tennis brain teaser: Playing against robots makes our brains work harder

In this artist's impression of the breadcrumb scenario, autonomous rovers can be seen exploring a lava tube after being deployed by a mother rover that remains at the entrance to maintain contact with an orbiter or a blimp.

Why we need rescue robots to seem brave and vulnerable

Robotic bees and roots offer hope of healthier environment and sufficient food

Researchers developed a new nonmechanical 3D lidar system, which is the size of a business card (seen in front of the system on the left). The system uses dually modulated surface-emitting photonic-crystal lasers (DM-PCSELs) as flash and beam-scanning sources.

New 3D lidar system could make autonomous driving safer

Researchers have come up with an innovative approach to building deformable underwater robots using simple repeating substructures. The team has demonstrated the new system in two different example configurations, one like an eel, pictured here in the MIT tow tank. Credits:Credit: Courtesy of the researchers
