Scientists have lacked the data to bring physical AI underwater. MIT CSAIL researchers are helping robots change that using sonar & ML approaches: tinyurl.com/3rpnhdkz

MIT & TJU's new 3D printing tool reimagines simple items as self-aware devices. You can design decor & even robots in "X-Hinges." It'll embed sensors & conductive traces using different materials to send clear data, enabling real-time interaction w/users: bit.ly/4sDBhnj

AI is quickly improving at tough theory questions in math, physics, & economics. In a new MIT study, frontier OpenAI models’ success rate rose from 3% to 35% in 16 months, while a successful attempt cost about $15. The new bottleneck may be verification: bit.ly/3UoRJee

Want genAI to make you a functional, real-world object? Good luck — their 3D models are often physically flawed & hard to edit. New "InstructMesh" tool makes it easy to generate, tweak, & 3D print things that actually work, such as decor & medical devices: bit.ly/4z5L5bu

ETH Zurich recently taught a robotic hand to walk: bit.ly/4zePk4P Its clever design & fluid motion reminded us of another walking hand: Thing from The Addams Family.

As humanoid robots become part of our everyday lives, they need to do more than just perform impressive motions. They should be safe, fun to interact with, and respond naturally to unexpected contact, without sacrificing performance. Our latest work, Compliant GMT (C-GMT), brings whole-body compliant responses to general motion tracking. 🌐 More details: venki1899.github.io/c-gmt/ Work done at MIT Improbable AI Lab with @michl_wang, Jin, @pulkitology.

To give context on age: Grace Hopper began computing at 38, completed the first compiler at 46, helped shape COBOL at 53, kept developing COBOL for the Navy in her 70s, retired from the Navy at 80, & then became a consultant for the Digital Equipment Corporation. v/@cooperx86

"DREAM" is an AI model from MIT & Meta that can both understand images & generate them from text — then judge its own rough drafts to finish the best one. The result: stronger vision, better image quality, & ~10% faster generation w/external re-rankers: bit.ly/4hBJing
