MIT

Advancing manipulation, tactile sensing and legged locomotion for humanoid robotics

Through CSAIL and allied research centers, MIT pushes the boundaries of manipulation, tactile sensing, and legged locomotion — core capabilities that underpin modern humanoid robots.

MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is a global leader in robot learning, perception, and control, with multiple groups contributing foundational work in dexterous manipulation and whole-body motor control. Research on tactile sensing at MIT has yielded tools and insights adopted widely across the humanoid field. Legged locomotion research at MIT has produced high-performance controllers that inform the design of bipedal and humanoid platforms. MIT's interdisciplinary environment connects robotics tightly with machine learning, materials science, and human-robot interaction.
