CSAIL Virtual Lab Tours

The Supertech Research Group investigates the technologies that support scalable high-performance computing, including hardware, software, and theory. The goal is to make scalable computing simpler, faster, and more effective.

The Computational Biology Lab seeks to understand the mechanistic basis of human disease by using a combination of computational and experimental techniques.

Professor Russ Tedrake leads the Robot Locomotion Group at MIT CSAIL. The group’s goal is to build machines which exploit their natural dynamics to achieve extraordinary agility, efficiency, and robustness using rigorous tools from dynamical systems, control theory, and machine learning. In this video Professor Tedrake tours his lab and shares the history, and overview of projects and plans for the future of the lab.

Led by Professor Pulkit Agrawal, the Improbable AI Lab at CSAIL has the goal of building machines that can automatically and continuously learn about their environment.

The Marine Robotics Group, led by Professor John J. Leonard is part of CSAIL at MIT. Their research is centered around the problems of navigation and mapping for autonomous robots operating in underwater and terrestrial environments.

The HCI Engineering Group's long-term vision is that in the future anybody will be able to create anything anywhere anytime. Working towards this goal, they build novel hardware and software systems that advance personal fabrication technologies.

Led by Professor Brian Williams, the Model-based Embedded and Robotic Systems Group develops “cognitive robots” - robots that are able to think and act much like humans do. There are three main thrusts to the research in the Model-Based Embedded and Robotics Systems (MERS) group: goal-driven interaction with robots, natural human/robot teaming, and robotic reasoning about the environment.
