A team of researchers from MIT CSAIL and QCRI have developed a neural network that can look at an image of a pizza, determine the type and distribution of ingredients, and figure out the correct order to layer the pizza before cooking.

A team from MIT CSAIL has developed a new radix-sorting algorithm called Regions Sort which is up to four times faster than similar algorithms while using half the memory.

Robots that have been programmed to see or feel can’t use these signals quite as interchangeably. To better bridge this sensory gap, researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have come up with a predictive artificial intelligence (AI) that can learn to see by touching, and learn to feel by seeing.

A team of roboticists at MIT CSAIL and Harvard has developed a new way to design pistons that replaces their conventional rigid elements with a mechanism using compressible structures inside a membrane made of soft materials.
