VLASH: MIT's method that lets robots think while they move

MIT researchers unveiled VLASH, a method that lets robots plan their next move while still executing the current one. The result is up to 11.8x lower reaction latency for VLA models, with no architecture changes and no extra compute.

A robot that swims and flies like a diving bird

Engineers from EPFL and MIT unveiled FAAV — a sub-300 g flapping-wing robot that swims underwater and takes off without feet. The Science paper opens a new class of aerial-aquatic drones for ocean exploration.

MIT wristband controls a robotic hand using wrist movements

MIT engineers built an ultrasound wristband that tracks 22 degrees of freedom of hand movement in real time and wirelessly transmits the data to a robot or VR environment. Results published July 13, 2026 in Nature Electronics.

MIGHTY: MIT’s open-source drone trajectory planner beats commercial solutions

MIT and the University of Pennsylvania published MIGHTY — an open-source UAV trajectory planning system that is 15% faster than competing methods and runs entirely on the drone’s onboard hardware with no commercial license required.
