Simulation is an essential tool for robots learning new skills. These skills include perception (understanding the world from camera images), planning (formulating a sequence of actions to solve a problem), and control (generating motor commands to change a robot��s position and orientation). Robotic assembly is ubiquitous in the automotive, aerospace, electronics��

The human hand is one of the most remarkable outcomes of millions of years of evolution. The ability to pick up all sorts of objects and use them as tools is a crucial differentiator enabling us to shape our world. For robots to work in the everyday human world, the ability to deftly interact with our tools and the environment around them is critical. Without that capability��

Imagine a robot that can efficiently model clay, push ice cream onto a cone, or mold the rice for your sushi roll. MIT researchers developed a deep learning-based algorithm that improves a robot��s ability to mold materials into shapes, as well as enabling it to interact with liquids and solid objects. The work draws on inspiration from how humans interact with different objects.
