The gadget used AI-powered simulations to set a new speed record after learning move efficiency. A robotic Mini Cheetah developed at MIT used artificial intelligence-powered simulations to teach itself how to run. In the process, it learned to boost its efficiency on all terrain types, breaking all its previous speed records in the process. The research was conducted by a CSAIL team at MIT using AI for machine learning. The team used artificial intelligence to rapidly teach the cheetah robot to adapt its gait as required based on the terrain.…

Eyering video - augmented reality technology

MIT researchers aim to turn fiction into fact with the help of augmented reality It is common practice in science-fiction for technology to be seen as a cure for various disabilities. While writers in the genre regularly exaggerate the capabilities of technology and science, augmented reality may be turning science-fiction into fact. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new device called the EyeRing that makes use of augmented reality to assist the visually impaired. The EyeRing is capable of turning visual data into auditory information,…
