MIT Creates 3D System That Improves Robots' Spatial Awareness

A team at MIT has created a model that enables robots to perceive their physical environment in the same way that humans do.

Science & Tech

Robots' capabilities are growing each year, from robot dogs that can do yoga poses to an array of small toy robots to keep engineers entertained, there's something out there for everyone.

But what about creating an actually useful robot that could help you around the house?

MIT researchers have been working on robots that they envision to work much like Alexa, if the voice command electronic device was in fact a moving robot. So they have been developing systems to enable these robots to view their physical environment much in the same manner as humans do.
