Meet Jibo, the worlds first family robot built by MITs social robotics master
2014-07-16 18:41:18| Extremetech
Cynthia Breazeal, an MIT professor and one of the pioneers of social robotics, has unveiled "the world's first family robot." Called Jibo, the all-white desktop-sitting robot has more than a passing resemblance to a certain robot from a recent animated Pixar movie. The robot, which will cost around $500 when it's released, will have a range of abilities that will hopefully make it the perfect companion to have around the house -- such as telling stories to kids, automatically taking photos when you pose, easy messaging and video calling, providing reminders for calendar entries, and companionship through emotional interaction.

MIT's new algorithm could solve thorny optimization problems
2014-01-09 00:51:51| InfoWorld: Top News
A group of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potentially more effective way of helping computers solve some of the toughest optimization problems they face. Their new algorithm is more computationally effective than other approaches, because it scales in a "near-linear" fashion, according to Jonathan Kelner, an associate professor of applied mathematics at MIT and a member of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, who co-authored the new algorithm.
