Drone racing is a relatively new sport, with drones racing around a track with obstacles the drones are required to avoid as quickly as possible. While drone racing is purely for fun, the technology ...

A new MIT algorithm is capable of determining, with impressive accuracy, whether or not people have COVID-19 — just by listening to them cough. The algorithm, which the researchers trained using the ...

Extreme events – like a rogue wave, hurricane, or sudden extinction – often seem to strike with few hints beforehand. But what if we could predict these events before they even form? Two Massachusetts ...

A new AI system can automatically decipher a lost language that’s no longer understood — without knowing its relationship to other languages. Researchers at MIT CSAIL developed the algorithm in ...

Automation is increasingly a reality in the workforce, and that means robots working alongside humans. But there's a problem: robots are often lousy at predicting where humans are going, leading them ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — March 22, 2021 — There are some tasks that traditional robots — the rigid and metallic kind — simply aren’t cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact ...

Knowing when someone will greet you with a hug, kiss or handshake can be hard enough for humans -- but it's getting a little easier for computers. A group of researchers at MIT's Computer Science and ...

We're much better at following weather patterns today than a couple hundred years ago, but we're still relatively green when predicting extreme weather. Today's community-specific extreme weather ...

Algorithm automatically boosts colours and ups exposure to turn the image on the left to the one on the right MIT Developers from Google and MIT have created a computer algorithm which cannot only ...
