FuseBot, a system developed by Professor Fadel Adib (@fadeladib) and researchers in the ​​Signal Kinetics research group (@mit_sk_lab), combines visual search with RFID tags to help a robotic arm find items buried in a pile—even if the target item isn't tagged. Lead author Tara Boroushaki, a research assistant in the group, explains, “If I give a human a pile of items to search, they will most likely remove the biggest item first to see what is underneath it. What the robot does is similar, but it also incorporates RFID information to make a more informed decision.” Photos: Jimmy Day (@jimbodays) Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2022/robot-pick-place-hidden-objects-0629 or link in profile.
