Robotic Suite at a Molecular Cancer Imaging Facility

Leonardo

Leonardo is a 2.5 foot social robot, the first created by the Dr. Cynthia Breazeal at the Personal Robots Group of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The body is made by Stan Winston Studios, leaders in animatronics. Its body was completed in 2002.

John Kumph and Robopike

John Kumph, a senior in mechanical engineering at MIT. Robopike, the first free-swimming robot fish, was a project started in 1993 with an aim to investigate the possibility of constructing a robotic submarine that could reproduce the way tuna and pike swim and see if they could find a superior system of propulsion for the autonomous underwater vehicles.

COG at MIT

Cog was a project at the Humanoid Robotics Group of MIT. It was based on the hypothesis that human-level intelligence requires gaining experience from interacting with humans, like human infants do.

Kismet and Cynthia Breazeal

Kismet is a robot head made in the late 1990s at Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Dr. Cynthia Breazeal as an experiment in affective computing; a machine that can recognize and simulate emotions.
