"It’s not so difficult to get a robot to do something once for a video," says Daniela Rus, Panasonic Professor of EECS and director of CSAIL - MIT. "Getting a humanoid to do a task in a robust and reliable way, with all the long-tail complications, is much harder."

The turning point for real-world robotics MIT’s Daniela Rus explains why robots need AI with physics, common sense, and real-world reasoning to become reliable autonomous systems.

EECS graduate student Nicolas Gorlo wants robots to be able to help you with any task. Including finding your keys.

Could AI tell you where you left your keys? A new memory framework known as DAAAM enables a robot to rapidly recall rich descriptions and precise locational information about objects it encountered while exploring its environment. This efficient approach could help an autonomous agent quickly answer complex queries about its environment in na...

Every year, the MIT School of Engineering and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing share their advanced degree ceremony, and every year we're struck by the joy, tenderness, and pride shared by the graduates whom we've gotten to know so well, and the family members who've come to cheer their accomplishments. Here are a few of our favorite shots from this year's Advanced Degree Ceremony, held on Wednesday, May 27th. Photo credits: Jake Belcher and Beth Versoy.
