The contest, now in its 29th year, is an elimination round tournament that provides a thrilling and challenging end to Design and Manufacturing I, taught by Professor Alexander H. Slocum. The course begins in February as each student is presented with a green box stuffed with items ranging from windshield wiper motors to springs, string and Duplo blocks. This year's version of the annual contest, known as MechEverest because of the gravity-defying climb required of each machine, took place in Johnson Athletic Center on May 5 and 6, 1999.

Now MIT pioneers in the field of robotic therapy, Professor Neville Hogan and researcher Hermano "Igo" Krebs, are hoping a robotic gym full of machines targeted at different parts of the body will significantly improve stroke patients' movement in arms, wrists, hands, legs and ankles.This video produced by MIT Video Productions for the MIT News Office in 2005 documents MANUS, the MIT Robotic Rehabilitation Project and the recently developed Anklebot<br />. 304 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/184515100 2007-06-21 10:25:57 -0400 sciwrite A short documentary about Aaron Edsinger's humanoid robot, Domo.

It is a machine that flaps its wings and indicates the amount of lift generated. The data will be useful to determine how the force varies with a changing wing stroke angle, and thus help us design better flying machines. <p>Music by Seth Friedman </p><p>Advisor: Anette Hosoi </p><p> Animator, Director, Writer, Brian Chan <br />Engineers/Researchers: Brian Chan, Theresa Guo <br />The Hoverbot designed by Brian Chan, <br />built by Theresa Guo and Brian Chan. </p><p>To learn more about fluid dynamics research at MIT, please visit: </p><p>http://web.mit.edu/fluids/www/ <br />http://scripts.mit.edu/~pekowiki/blaise/index.php?title=Main_Page </p> 277 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/184473060 2007-06-21 09:07:23 -0400 sciwrite Documentary by the students in the Graduate Program in Science Writing, featuring Peko Hosoi's Robo Snails, and robotic swimmers. 281 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/191658700 2007-04-24 13:33:03 -0400 leo <p>i always suspected that magical things happen in the medialab during the wee hours of the night - this recently uncovered evidence only confirms my worst fears</p><p>this movie was made by <a href="http://leo.media.mit.edu">leonardo bonanni</a> with music selection by <a href="http:/creativesynthesis/blog">matthew hockenberry</a></p><p>music by the <a href="http://cuttime.com">the cut time players</a></p> 184 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/191319180 2008-08-07 07:26:26 -0400 some videos to not <p>Anticipatory Perceptual Simulation is a cognitive architecture developed at the MIT Media Lab based on current neuro-psychological research in perception and memory. It is designed to allow a robotic teammate to practice a physical task with a human partner. As the practice progresses, the robot builds a model of the human's actions, and through "imagining" the perceptual stimuli that would arise from these actions, react faster and lead to a more efficient and fluent interaction. </p><p><a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~guy/publications/HoffmanAAAI08.pdf" target="_blank">Read more about this research</a>. </p> 215 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/190574180 2007-06-25 18:32:34 -0400 eng-youth Kismet, The Sociable Robot 204
