MIT researchers have developed technology that allows industrial factory robots to make decisions and adjust their actions while in motion, rather than following pre-programmed paths. The advance could make robots more flexible in manufacturing settings, adapting to changing conditions on the fly. It has drawn attention from the industrial automation sector, where real-time robot adaptability is a growing priority for production lines.
