- Description
- The MIT community, like most of the world, is scattered and distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Here, Mary Beth Gallagher, from MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE), checks in with Anette “Peko” Hosoi, a professor in MechE as well as the Associate Dean for Engineering in MIT’s School of Engineering. They chat about staying connected, innovating to solve problems, and why “MIT was made for this.”

- Keeping our distance from each other for an extended period of time is the most effective way to reduce COVID-19’s spread. But the prospect of prolonged social isolation is uncharted territory for many of us. To get some insight on how we might navigate this period of social separation, MIT News checked in with MIT alumna and former astronaut Cady Coleman, who perhaps had the ultimate isolation experience.

- Robots learn to use their hands
- Date posted
- 6 years ago
- Description
- Having robots learn dexterous tasks requiring real-time hand-eye coordination is hard. Many tasks that we would consider simple, like hanging up a baseball cap on a rack, would be very challenging for most robot software. What's more, for a robot to learn each new task, it typically takes significant amounts of engineering time to program the robot. Pete Florence and Lucas Manuelli in the Robot Locomotion Group took a step closer to that goal with their work. Their paper will be presented at International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA) in May in Paris.

December
a few leaves are left
dangling from splintered branches
russet crinkly skins
curled up tight beneath a blanket
of grey white
while inside
fluorescent light insinuates day
onto faces of so many silent travelers
and buildings, street lamps, rows of houses
slip by in steady rhythm
all of us
sit waiting for the day’s approaching end
