Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT. The complexities involved in controlling teams of moving ...

If you've ever piloted a drone, you'll know that utilizing a joystick-style controller takes some getting used to. MIT scientists have developed what they claim is a more intuitive control system, ...

MIT researchers have developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Instead of using electricity to stimulate muscles, they used light. Here, Guillermo Herrera-Arcos ...

‘Optogenetics offers precise muscle control with significantly less fatigue. #neuroprosthetics #optogenetics #medindia’ “It turns out that by using light, through optogenetics, one can control muscle ...

MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) has come up with a use for virtual reality headsets that goes beyond firing them up, checking out a new game, muttering “cool” briefly ...

Artificial intelligence -- some fear it, some welcome it. New research from MIT shows that robots are not only more efficient than humans at controlling human workers, but that the workers prefer ...

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

Scientists from MIT have been blasting magnets with lasers, which is more scientific than it sounds. Researchers working with antiferromagnetic material have devised a way to control the magnetic ...

Artificial general intelligence — smarter-than-human AI capable of performing virtually all tasks — risks spiraling out of human control, MIT professor and Future of Life Institute President Max ...

Given the state of our world, being able to escape to a chosen alternate reality through dreams sounds like a, er, dream. Luckily, scientists at MIT’s Media Lab have been working on a way to let ...
