MIT’s AI Robots Jump Higher, Land Safer 🤖🦘 🧵 Sci-fi alert! Sept 27, 2025: MIT’s AI robots at ICRA 2025 jump 41% higher, land 84% safer with AI designs. Future bots for homes/factories, let’s explore! #MITRobotics #GenAI #AIparrot

Open, strong, and practical: OpenVLA (7B) trains on ~970k demos and beats RT‑2‑X (55B) by ~16.5% on manipulation tasks. Code checkpoints consumer‑GPU fine‑tuning quantized serving. @svlevine @percyliang @chelseabfinn @physical_int arxiv.org/abs/2406.09246 openvla.github.io #AI #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #GenAI #LLMs #Multimodal #RepresentationLearning #SelfSupervised #CausalML #ProbabilisticML #Optimization #AIResearch #PhysicalIntelligence #EmbodiedAI #Robotics #RobotLearning #ReinforcementLearning #ImitationLearning #ModelBasedRL #OfflineRL #MultiAgent #Sim2Real #SLAM #Perception #Manipulation #Humanoids #LeggedRobotics #StanfordAI #StanfordHAI #CSAIL #MITCSAIL #BAIR #BerkeleyAI #BerkeleyRobotics #StanfordRobotics #MITRobotics #AppliedAI #MLOps #LLMOps #RAG #VectorDB #PromptEngineering #AgenticAI #AIAgents #AIOps #ModelEvaluation #ResponsibleAI #AISafety

ایم آئی ٹی کے محققین نے مکھی کے سائز کا ایک ہلکا پھلکا مگر طاقتور روبوٹ تیار کیا ہے جو مستقبل میں پولی نیشن کے لیے استعمال ہو سکتا ہے۔ یہ روبوٹ 1000 سیکنڈ تک ہوا میں پرواز کر سکتا ہے، ڈبل فلپ جیسی حرکات بھی کر لیتا ہے اور زرعی پیداوار میں اضافے کے لیے مددگار ہو سکتا ہے۔ تاہم ماہرین خبردار کرتے ہیں کہ یہ قدرتی شہد کی مکھیوں کا متبادل نہیں بن سکتا۔#MITRobotics #ArtificialPollination #FutureFarming

🚨breaking robotics news🚨 We’re thrilled to announce that the MIT Robotics Worldwide Workshop (happening today, April 4, 3-5pm EST) will be livestreamed. You can watch the lightning talks and panel here for free web.mit.edu/webcast/robotics… #MITRobotics #Innovation #TechLiveStream

Minimum self replicating robot: Two motors, metal bar with colorations attaching them, and tool. A single observational camera uses Local Positioning System, Optics. This works. Mine, forge, extrude wire, make electric engine. See my other posts how you can recursively make Mars habitable by making robots and solar towers.

This research kinda started as a joke! But with encouragement from my wonderful mentors and advocates (special shoutouts to Radhika Nagpal, Krzysztof Gajos @kgajos, and Jim Waldo), it turned into a real research project, which I ended up publishing at the HRI conference.

I first got into human-robot interaction research while I was an undergrad at @Harvard. I started wondering about the relationship between trust & robots & people, so I posed a question of whether university students would assist a random robot in entering their locked dorms.

Feel free to DM your questions! In the meantime, I’ll kick off with a little about my research. My research agenda concerns how people can easily understand and change robot & AI agent behaviors.

Hello!!! I’m @SerenaLBooth, a 4th yr PhD student in the Interactive Robotics Group here at CSAIL (@MITRobotics), and for the next ~hr I’ll be doing an AMA!

I'm so proud of our work with @MITRobotics. Thank you @SerenaLBooth for leading this collaboration between HCI and HRI!
