The word “robot” was coined by the czech writer karel čapek in a 1920 play called rossum’s universal robots, and is derived from the czech robota, meaning “drudgery” or “servitude”. Founded by mit alumni, the pickle robot company has developed robots that can autonomously load and unload trucks inside warehouses and logistic centers. Mit researchers developed an aerial microrobot that can fly with speed and agility comparable to real insects Mit researchers developed a powerful system that could help robots safely navigate unpredictable environments using only images captured from their onboard cameras. Mit roboticists developed a way to cut through data noise and help robots focus on the features in a scene that are most relevant for assisting humans The system could be used in smart manufacturing and warehouse settings where robots would work alongside and assist humans.
Sprout is a flexible robot built by mit lincoln laboratory and notre dame researchers to assist in disaster response Emergency responders can use the robot to navigate and map areas under rubble to plan rescue operations.
