Stacking an object on top of another object is a straightforward task for most people. But even the most complex robots struggle to handle more than one such task at a time. Stacking requires a range ...

3D printers are typically the tool you use when you want a one-off quick prototype. However, more and more, they’re being used to produce things in quantity. [Uncle Jessy] decided to try out the resin ...

This problem goes beyond the simple child's game of stacking objects; it is a scientific challenge with major implications. From the construction of dry masonry walls to the optimisation of automated ...

3D printing enthusiasts may be interested in a new method is making waves among manufacturers and hobbyists alike. Known as stack 3D printing, this technique allows for the simultaneous creation of ...

MIT researchers are using generative AI models to help robots more efficiently solve complex object manipulation problems, such as packing a box with different objects. CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Anyone who ...

There’s something magical about building in VR. Imagine being able to assemble weightless car engines, arrange dynamic virtual workspaces, or create imaginary castles with infinite bricks. Arranging ...

MIT researchers utilize a diffusion model, a type of generative AI, to efficiently tackle the robot packing problem, considering multiple constraints simultaneously. The new method, Diffusion-CCSP, ...
