MIT CSAIL researchers developed SustainaPrint, a system that reinforces only the weakest zones of eco-friendly 3D prints, achieving strong results with less plastic.
Researchers create new simulation tool for robots to manipulate complex fluids in a step toward helping robots more effortlessly assist with daily tasks.
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has announced that Russ Tedrake has been promoted to the role of associate professor with tenure, effective July 1, 2012. Tedrake is the X Consortium Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT and leads the Robot Locomotion Group at CSAIL.
Assistant Professor Julie Shah's work with developing new algorithms that allow robots to collaborate and adapt to the working preferences of their human co-workers, has been featured in The New York Times.
The article spotlights Shah's work with cross-training, a new method for enabling better interaction between humans and robots by allowing them to swap roles and learn from one another.
Shah leads the Interactive Robotics Group at CSAIL with the goal of developing innovative methods for enabling more fluid human-robot teamwork in high intensity domains-drawing on expertise in artificial intelligence, human factors, and systems engineering.
CSAIL Principal Investigator Patrick Henry Winston is hosting How To Speak this Friday from 11 a.m.- 12 p.m. in room 6-120 as part of MIT's Independent Activities Period. The talk will offer attendees assistance with everything from lecture presentations to these defenses to oral exams and job interviews. During this course, Professor Winston will present a set of rules to follow when presented with a speaking opportunity.
No pre-registration is required. For more information, check out http://student.mit.edu/searchiap/iap-7427.html.

"VaxSeer" uses machine learning to predict virus evolution and antigenicity, aiming to make vaccine selection more accurate and less reliant on guesswork.
The new Tayebati Postdoctoral Fellowship Program will support leading postdocs to bring cutting-edge AI to bear on research in scientific discovery or music.
On February 24, 2021 Dr. Stacey Gabriel of the Broad Institute gave a talk entitled 'Viral diagnostics for SARS-Cov-2: Setting up testing at massive scale'
Dr. Lalana Kagal has been promoted to the role of Principal Research Scientist, effective July 1, 2013.
Kagal is the Deputy Director of the Decentralized Information Group at CSAIL. Her research focuses on modeling how social norms and legal rules work in society in order to automate the compliance of policy in information systems. She is currently exploring various facets of information management and policy, such as the development of new paradigms for exploring and integrating distributed data, privacy aware querying of big (linked) data, and frameworks for mobile applications for disaster management.
