    MIT CSAIL researchers combined GenAI and a physics simulation engine to refine robot designs. The result: a machine that out-jumped a robot designed by humans.

    Researchers developed an algorithm that lets a robot “think ahead” and consider thousands of potential motion plans simultaneously.

    With a novel simulation method, robots can guess the weight, softness, and other physical properties of an object just by picking it up.

    MIT engineers developed an insect-sized jumping robot that can traverse challenging terrains and carry heavy payloads.

    All promotions and appointments will take effect July 1, 2025.
