We need to see more works like this that are focusing on manipulation rather than focusing on language and solving simplified manipulation problems.

Quite impressive!

I will be at #CVPR2024 this week. Looking forward to catching up with everyone specially those who are doing research in robotics manipulation and embodied ai.

Going from language description of objects or placemet location to points on the image. Even gpt4-v struggles with this task yet it's cruicial for robots. Co-trained with synthetic data and VQA data. Generalizes quite well to out of distribution domains. Led by Wentao Yuan.

Want to generate large-scale robot demonstrations automatically? We have released the full MimicGen code. Excited to see what the community will do with this powerful data generation tool! Code: github.com/NVlabs/mimicgen Docs: mimicgen.github.io/docs/introduct…

Our internship positions are open: nvidia.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/NVIDIAEx… Consider applying if you are doing research in foundational model for robotic manipulation such as pick and place, bimanual/dexterous manipulation, tactile and assembly. Feel free to reach out as well after you apply.

This talk was my favorite talk in the whole CoRL 2024. Very insightful...

I have been waiting for this moment for Iran since I was six years old. I woke up night after night to the sound of bombing sirens. I watched missiles tear across the sky. I remember running hand in hand with my mother down into the basement, lighting candles, seeing fear

The crowds in Tehran and in other cities around Iran seem huge tonight Pressure against the Islamic regime is extreme and the next 48 hours should be pivotal

If the United States and President Donald J. Trump are going to help the Iranian people, it seems like the time to do so is now before more innocent people are mowed down with machine gun fire under the cover of a total communications blackout.

Shocking stat In 2026 more humans killed by tyrannical oppressor Islamic Regime (in the past week alone, over 2,000!) than all casualties from Gaza War started by radical Islamist Hamas In just Tehran ~1.9 million children under 9 + 1.8M age 10–19 starved of electricity + power

If Iran has indeed stopped killing people, why haven’t they turned the internet back on? What are they afraid for the world to see?

Horrific new photos show brutality of Iran’s protest crackdown as death toll feared to reach 20K: reports trib.al/4NFKofB

There was so much talk about the protests in Iran – but they drowned in blood. The world has not helped enough the Iranian people, it has stood aside. What will Iran become after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully – kill enough people,

Not sure why this is getting so little coverage in most media. Good on time for addressing something very important, and very sad.

Fantastic vision for LWMs, but the leap from pixels to physics is steep. For World Models to become a reliable backbone for action generation, we must address: - Geometric Consistency: Ensuring kinematics and object permanence are physically grounded. - Identity Preservation:

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani You realize that almost every single Iranian is celebrating this, right?

Thank you Van!
