MIT Unveils Novel Method of Training General-Purpose Robots Using Generative AI Techniques
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) unveiled a new method to train robots last week that uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. The new technique relies on combining data across different domains and modalities and combining them together in a shared language which can then be processed by large language models (LLMs).

Researchers Develop Grain-Sized Robots Capable of Carrying Multiple Drugs
Researchers at NTU Singapore have introduced a grain-sized, magnetic robot capable of delivering multiple drugs directly to specific body sites. These robots, constructed from body-safe polymers and magnetic particles, offer an alternative to traditional pills or injections by precisely targeting treatment areas, reducing potential side effects. Th...

Scientists Test Nanorobots to Treat Brain Aneurysms
Scientists have created nanorobots that could revolutionise the treatment of brain aneurysms by delivering clot-forming drugs directly to the weakened vessel area, reducing the risk of stroke. These robots, smaller than blood cells, were successfully tested in rabbits. The nanobots are guided using magnetic fields and heat, which release the drug a...

MIT Engineers Create Miniature Zinc-Air Batteries for Cell-Sized Robots, Revolutionising Autonomous Technology
MIT engineers have made a significant breakthrough with the development of a tiny zinc-air microbattery, measuring just 0.1 millimetres in length and 0.002 millimetres thick, about the width of a human hair. This innovative battery captures oxygen from the air to oxidise zinc, generating a potential of up to 1 volt, which is sufficient to operate s...
