Their machine-learning model uses images of the robot's environment to generate a 2D action space, which includes the robot and the area around it. They simulate robot motion using what is known as ...

Formless 'slime' robots that shape-change to complete complex tasks – it sounds like science fantasy. However, MIT researchers have developed a machine-learning technique that brings shape-changing ...

When a human touches the robot, the robot changes its movement to avoid collision. Ishikawa, Japan-- In nature, many organisms like octopuses with their flexible tentacles or elephants with their ...

Imagine a slime-like robot that can seamlessly change its shape to squeeze through narrow spaces, which could be deployed inside the human body to remove an unwanted item. While such a robot does not ...
