Multi-fingered robotic hands hold an immense potential for flexible manipulation in human environments. From using tools like scissors to preparing food, handling cloth, and robustly tying shoelaces, many mundane activities are […]

The Robotics Startup Bootcamp, hosted by MassRobotics, is an immersive, full-day workshop designed to equip early-stage robotics startups — or those considering the commercialization of their research — with the […]

Our workshop aims to facilitate discussion on construction robotics with an emphasis on perception and navigation in cluttered scenes, mapping of as-built environments, and safety-focused robot-worker interactions. This workshop will […]

Vascular diseases are leading causes of ischemic heart disease and stroke and lead to significant global mortality. Endovascular interventions, such as neuroendovascular and cardiovascular interventions are a minimally invasive approach […]

When you think about a robot, what comes to mind? A humanoid, quadruped, quadcopter, or a multi-degree of freedom robot arm? These standard robot morphologies have become widely commercialized and […]

Robotic surgery is entering an exciting new era where robots are no longer simply mechanical tools under the direct control of a surgeon, but rather fully-fledged cyber-physical systems capable of […]

Achieving robust autonomy in robotics is challenged by sensor data reliability, especially in extreme environments. Conventional sensors like RGB cameras fail in low-visibility conditions (e.g., smoke, fog, low light), while […]

The field of robotics has experienced significant growth through the integration of machine learning models, particularly with the rise of foundation models, neuro-symbolic AI, generative models (such as large language […]

Robot and automation systems are expected to carry out increasingly sophisticated tasks in complex environments. This places stringent expectations on their autonomy stack to enforce operational constraints and safety guarantees. […]

Emerging robotic exoskeletons have the potential to enhance performance of non-disabled users, restore normative leg biomechanics to impaired users, or rehabilitate limb function after neurological disorders. However, these devices have […]

In the field, we throw robots into the wild to achieve what seems a simple task, that quickly ends up being arduous. As experts, we continuously loop through designing, developing, […]
