Printed as a flat plastic sheet, this MIT robot self-assembles into its final form using heat-activated folding, then walks on its own before dissolving when placed in liquid. 🎥: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) / YT

Researchers at MIT created a tiny origami-inspired robot that starts as a flat sheet and transforms itself into a working machine when activated by heat. Made from a heat-responsive polymer combined with rigid panels and small embedded magnets, it can self-fold into shape and then move across surfaces, swim, climb slight slopes, and handle uneven terrain, all without traditional onboard motors.

Introducing Large Video Planner (LVP-14B) — a robot foundation model that actually generalizes. LVP is built on video gen, not VLA. As my final work at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), LVP has all its eval tasks proposed by third parties as a maximum stress test, but it excels!🤗

Now on Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) campus! Members & supporters of the CAA Hamas supporter student organization, 'suspended' by MIT, blocking the main entrance to campus & calling for violence! This is very close to students housing of many Jewish students who weren't warned by MIT administration! More in the follow-up tweet!
