Robot, know thyself: New vision-based system teaches machines to understand their bodies
In an office at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), a soft robotic hand carefully curls its fingers to grasp a small object. The intriguing part isn’t the mechanical design or embedded sensors — in fact, the hand contains none. Instead, the entire system relies on a single camera that watches the robot’s…
What is the Domain Name System (DNS)? | Definition from TechTarget
The domain name system (DNS) is a naming database in which internet domain names are located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. The DNS maps the name people use to locate a website to the IP address that a computer uses to locate that website. For example, if someone types example.com into a web…
AI-enabled control system helps autonomous drones stay on target in uncertain environments
An autonomous drone carrying water to help extinguish a wildfire in the Sierra Nevada might encounter swirling Santa Ana winds that threaten to push it off course. Rapidly adapting to these unknown disturbances inflight presents an enormous challenge for the drone’s flight control system. To help such a drone stay on target, MIT researchers developed a…

From system design to SiP: What’s the design flow
Like any successful system-on-chip (SoC) effort, a multi-die system-in-package (SiP) project must start with a sound system design. But then what? Are the steps in the SiP design flow different from the stages in an SoC design? What is necessary to ensure that a 2.5D or 3D SiP will be functionally correct, within the power,…
An early warning system for novel AI risks
Responsibility & Safety Published 25 May 2023 Authors Toby Shevlane New research proposes a framework for evaluating general-purpose models against novel threats To pioneer responsibly at the cutting edge of artificial intelligence (AI) research, we must identify new capabilities and novel risks in our AI systems as early as possible. AI researchers already use a…
