ExtremeTech Hardware Accelerators May Dramatically Improve Robot Response Times By Joel Hruska on January 21, 2021 at 3:28 pm This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. (Credit: onurdongel/Getty Images)New work in robotics research at MIT suggests that long-term bottlenecks in robot responsiveness could be alleviated through the use of dedicated hardware accelerators. The research team also suggests it’s possible to develop a general methodology for programming robot responsiveness to create specific templates, which would then be d...

MIT-Developed System Optimizes the Shape of Robots Written by AZoRoboticsDec 1 2020 So, you need a robot that climbs stairs. What shape should that robot be? Should it have two legs, like a person? Or six, like an ant? Choosing the right shape will be vital for your robot's ability to traverse a particular terrain. And it's impossible to build and test every potential form. But now an MIT-developed system makes it possible to simulate them and determine which design works best. You start by telling the system, called RoboGrammar, which robot parts are lying around your shop -- wheels, joints,...
