Marc Raibert Raibert was a professor at Carnegie Mellon and MIT before founding Boston Dynamics in 1992. At the Institute, you’re starting to share your vision for the future of robotics more than you did at Boston Dynamics.

Researchers led by MIT professor Daniel Nocera have produced an “artificial leaf”—a solar water-splitting cell producing hydrogen and oxygen that operates in near-neutral pH conditions, both with and without connecting wires. The cells were operated in a two-electrode cell configuration. (B) Reece et al. Click to enlarge.

If you go back far enough, to the 1980s, when Marc Raibert was developing dynamic legged robots at MIT, those running and jumping robots were relying on pneumatics rather than hydraulics, because pneumatics were much easier to implement. While this would be awesome, that was never the intention for Kemba.

Yes, it's possible that we're in for yet another AI winter in the not-so-distant future. In 1967, MIT professor. But the cheap computers that supplanted expert systems turned out to be a boon for the connectionists, who suddenly had access to enough computer power to run neural networks with many layers of artificial neurons.

Future research can aim to push these sensors closer to their theoretical limits of sensitivity, permit more freedom of movement to perhaps let people walk, and add virtual reality and machine learning to boost what researchers can do with the scanners on the experimental and analytical fronts, Brookes says.
