Clinical and design considerations will be published online; goal is to support rapid scale-up of device production to alleviate hospital shortages.
Autonomous robots performing a joint task send each other continual updates: “I’ve passed through a door and am turning 90 degrees right.” “After advancing 2 feet I’ve encountered a wall. I’m turning 90 degrees right.” “After advancing 4 feet I’ve encountered a wall.” And so on.Computers, of course, have no trouble filing this information away until they need it. But such a barrage of data would drive a human being crazy.
New Institute-wide initiative will advance human and machine intelligence research.
Babies as young as 10 months can assess how much someone values a particular goal by observing how hard they are willing to work to achieve it, according to a new study from MIT and Harvard University.
The CSAIL Olympics are a lab tradition that originated with the AI lab. Each year during January IAP lab members cross research boundaries and form teams to compete in events involving the body, the mind, and the spirit. Last year's Olympic events featured variety of challenges including a bake-off, trivial pursuit, and a super ball drop.
Events from the last 10 years have been imortalized in web pages. Reminisce and enjoy, but please note that some of the older olympics contain outdated or broken links.
The 16 finalists — including research from MIT CSAIL members — will explore generative AI’s impact on privacy, art, drug discovery, aging, and more.
Activity simulator could eventually teach robots tasks like making coffee or setting the table.
Communicating through computers has become an extension of our daily reality. But as speaking via screens has become commonplace, our exchanges are losing inflection, body language, and empathy. Danielle Olson ’14, a first-year PhD student at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), believes we can make digital information-sharing more natural and interpersonal, by creating immersive media to better understand each other’s feelings and backgrounds.
