The electricity to an island goes out. To find the break in the underwater power cable, a ship pulls up the entire line or deploys remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to traverse the line. But what if an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) could map the line and pinpoint the location of the fault for a diver to fix? Such underwater human-robot teaming is the focus of an MIT Lincoln Laboratory project funded through an internally administered R&D portfolio on […]

But in the world of robotics, swapping an old robotic arm for a newer model has meant setting everything up from scratch. To fix that, a team of researchers at the Swiss École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has developed what they call Kinematic Intelligence, a framework that makes switching […]

1.0 Introduction The model is not the hard part. Every frontier model has a story about their latest capabilities. Claude Opus 4.7, GPT-5.5, and Gemini 3.1 Pro are genuinely remarkable reasoning engines; each pushing further on context, multimodal perception, and agentic tool use. Behind each of these extraordinary reasoning engines, however, is a non-model infrastructure layer working silently to make the model useful in practice. Everyone building AI agents have access to the same frontier models through the same […]
