Two crashes since July 2025 involved robotaxis being driven by remote operators.

An old patent from MIT Professor Bill Freeman inspired the new “Y-zipper,” a three-sided fastener that snaps gear, robots, and art into shape at the push of a button.

MIT researchers’ new fabrication technique can produce soft, microscopic structures with magnetically activated moving parts.

New research suggests constructing a simple building from interlocking subunits should be mechanically feasible and have a much smaller carbon footprint.

Reframe Systems, co-founded by Vikas Enti SM '20, creates microfactories for modular home construction, reducing carbon emissions and costs.

New MIT work advances the growing field of ionotronics, in which data are transferred through ions, potentially providing a bridge between electronics and biological tissue.

Researchers are developing hardware and algorithms to improve collaboration between divers and autonomous underwater vehicles engaged in maritime missions.

Electrofluidic fibers mimic how natural muscle fibers bundle, and could enable compact, silent robotic and prosthetic systems.
