Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) scientists in Korea have developed algorithms that more efficiently measure how difficult it would be for an attacker to guess secret keys for cryptographic systems. The approach…
Researchers’ algorithm designs soft robots that sense
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (MIT News Office)-- There are some tasks that traditional robots — the rigid and metallic kind — simply aren’t cut out for. Soft-bodied robots, on the other hand, may be able to interact with…
Algorithm helps artificial intelligence systems dodge “adversarial” inputs
Method builds on gaming techniques to help autonomous vehicles navigate in the real world, where signals may be imperfect. CAMBRIDGE, Mass (MIT News Office) -- In a perfect world, what you see is what you get.…
Helping soft robots turn rigid on demand
CAMBRIDGE, Mass (MIT News office) -- Imagine a robot. Perhaps you’ve just conjured a machine with a rigid, metallic exterior. While robots armored with hard exoskeletons are common, they’re not always ideal. Soft-bodied robots, inspired by…
New generation of tiny, agile drones
CAMBRIDGE, Mass(MIT News Office) -- If you’ve ever swatted a mosquito away from your face, only to have it return again (and again and again), you know that insects can be remarkably acrobatic and resilient in…
