Researchers at Keio University and MIT Media Lab have developed a soft floating robot that uses helium buoyancy and flapping fins to hover silently indoors, establishing the first systematic design framework for soft floating robots as residential companions.
MIT and EPFL engineers have built a 300-gram flapping-wing robot that swims through water and transitions to flight without paddling, published in Science, inspired by diving birds and targeting oceanographic data collection in environments too dangerous for conventional vessels.
MIT researchers have developed an ultrasound wristband that translates muscle activity into real-time control signals for robotic hands, potentially advancing dexterity in humanoid robotics.
