A tweet shares a free MIT guide called 'SLAM for Dummies' that teaches simultaneous localization and mapping for robotics, with code examples, and promotes a weekly robotics newsletter.
MIT researchers will lead or contribute to 15 projects funded under the US Department of Energy's Genesis Mission, which aims to build an integrated science discovery platform using AI, supercomputing, and quantum systems.
Professor Emeritus Dimitri Bertsekas, a pioneering computer scientist known for his work in optimization, reinforcement learning, and AI, and author of over 20 influential books, has passed away at age 83.
MIT has made the textbook 'Foundations of Computer Vision' freely available online. The book covers a wide range of topics from image formation to vision-language models, and is aimed at students and practitioners in robotics, embodied AI, autonomous driving, and vision AI.
GitHub highlights the repository of the Apollo 11 guidance computer source code, originally led by Margaret Hamilton and the MIT team, as a tribute to the 57th anniversary of the first moon landing.
Bailey Flanigan, a shared faculty member at MIT, discusses her interdisciplinary path from medicine to public health to economics and now computational political science, focusing on democratic participation.
Researchers from MIT and others developed GIFT, a system that teaches vision-language models to automatically convert 2D designs into accurate CAD programs for rapid prototyping, using model-generated data to correct mistakes and improve performance with less computation.
A Twitter thread curating free electronics courses from top universities like MIT, Stanford, and Georgia Tech, covering circuits, digital design, embedded systems, and more.
MIT researcher Devavrat Shah's work on AI models for tabular time-series data led to the spinoff Ikigai Labs, recently acquired by Celonis, aiming to improve enterprise forecasting and decision-making.
MIT's JARVIS Challenge tested whether AI can accelerate the design, build, and test of a jet engine, finding that AI speeds up engineering but human judgment and manufacturing remain critical.
MIT's Cybersecurity Clinic trains students to provide free assessments for municipalities and healthcare organizations, helping them defend against ransomware and other cyberattacks through a blend of technical and social-engineering strategies.
MIT has released the full 900-page discrete mathematics textbook 'Mathematics for Computer Science' for free online, covering proofs, graph theory, state machines, counting, recurrences, and probability as they apply to computer science.
MIT researchers developed a technique to audit AI models for their capability to generate child sexual abuse material without producing illegal outputs, achieving 100% accuracy in tests. This method examines hidden model representations to infer whether a model has been fine-tuned for harmful content, providing a scalable way for platforms and law enforcement to detect unsafe models.
Sakana AI, in collaboration with MIT/NYU, published a study nominated for the GECCO 2026 Best Paper Award, which fully replicated the classic Picbreeder system using VLM agents to explore the key ingredients needed for open-endedness.
Six MIT students built the wearable device Human Operator in 48 hours, using a camera and Claude API to let AI briefly take over body movements, winning first place at MIT Hackathon. It is currently a prototype.
A new open-source dashboard for serving LLMs, developed at MIT, is being released.
MIT researchers developed FloatForm, a swarm of small robotic boats that self-assemble into floating structures on demand, inspired by fire ant rafts. The open-access paper published in Nature Communications demonstrates how autonomous robots can reconfigure into bridges, platforms, and other infrastructure for adaptive urban uses.
MIT researchers developed an AI system that uses wrist pads to send signals to muscles, enabling involuntary finger movements to play piano even without the user's knowledge.
These twenty video lectures by Hal Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman are a complete presentation of the course Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, given in July 1986 for Hewlett-Packard employees and professionally produced by HP Television.
VisionBridge is an open-source proxy that gives text-only LLMs vision capabilities by letting a reasoning model query a separate vision model for image inspection, OCR, and more.
