Robots have been developed with various senses, often depending on their intended application - from vision, touch, and even smell and taste. Now, a team led by MIT is trying to give robots superhuman perception with a new design.
Presenting their study at the upcoming IEEE International Conference on Robotics this May, the team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) designed a robot that uses radio frequency waves that penetrate obstacles such as walls to sense what lies behind them. Called the RF-Grasp, the new robot combines the radio frequency sensing capabilities with the traditional machine vision to locate, identify, and grasp items that might even be hidden from view.

In recent years, robots have gained artificial vision, touch, and even smell. “Researchers have been giving robots human-like perception,” says MIT Associate Professor Fadel Adib. In a new paper, Adib’s team is pushing the technology a step further. “We’re trying to give robots superhuman perception,” he says.
The researchers have developed a robot that uses radio waves, which can pass through walls, to sense occluded objects. The robot, called RF-Grasp, combines this powerful sensing with more traditional computer vision to locate and grasp items that might otherwise be blocked from view. The advance could one day streamline e-commerce fulfillment in warehouses or help a machine pluck a screwdriver from a jumbled toolkit.
