RoboGrammar is a new system that automates and optimizes robot design. The system creates arthropod-inspired robots for traversing a variety of terrains. It could spawn more inventive robot forms with ...

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 ...

A novel MIT-developed system makes it possible to design robot shapes and determine its optimal ability to traverse a particular terrain. The simulation-based system is called RoboGrammar and is a ...

Professor Boyuan Chen poses with some of his 3D printed robots that were designed and built through his new platform called Text2Robot that allows people to simply tell a computer what kind of robot ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a way for a computer to essentially design its own robotic body, based on the available parts and the local terrain. Dubbed RoboGrammar, the system knows what ...
