Now, our MIT teams are working on this kind of challenge, partly to see what’s possible.

I wanted to showcase some of the work going on in our MIT robotics lab, where researchers are finding out the limits of what they call “robotic soft co-design” with AI.

Let’s start with the criteria: what components do you need to consider in robotic design?...
