Computers have a reputation for being able to churn through numbers with limited intuition. Now, though, an algorithm developed by researchers at MIT to find predictive patterns in unfamiliar data has ...

Robots have amazing efficiency compared to human beings. Using algorithms that optimize work processes, robots are engineered to perform their assigned tasks to completion as efficiently as possible.

Swarms of drones flying in terrifyingly perfect formation could be one step closer, thanks to a control algorithm being developed at MIT. The complexities involved in controlling teams of moving ...

A new system developed by MIT researchers called “MosAIc” is finding hard-to-spot similarities between art pieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum. MosAIc scans an image, ...

A new MIT algorithm is capable of determining, with impressive accuracy, whether or not people have COVID-19 — just by listening to them cough. The algorithm, which the researchers trained using the ...

Consider a group of drones that have to constantly exchange information on their position in order to avoid colliding with one another. Or a smart car that needs up-to-the-millisecond sensor data to ...

Our world is full of unsightly views: construction sites that mar our streets, condos that block our view of the skyline, an inconveniently positioned air conditioner. We’ve resigned ourselves to ...

We’re still in the early days of commercial drones, but MIT is already working to end crashes for good. Drones. They crash. A lot. Right now, they’re only as good as their pilots, which often means ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...
