📢SUPER excited to present NeO 360, our #ICCV23 work on sparse view 360-degree view synthesis of outdoor scenes! Presenting a large-scale dataset and a strong baseline for this challenging task 🧵👇 Webpage: zubair-irshad.github.io/projects/neo36… Robotics@GT | On Vacation Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing Machine Learning at Georgia Tech Toyota Research Institute (TRI)

Kanai of #FrontierResearchCenter will present a paper on Learning-based multi-camera self-calibration at #IROS2023. The paper, "Robust Self-Supervised Extrinsic Self-Calibration," was written while Kanai was on assignment at #TRI. For More details at sites.google.com/view/tri-sesc

In the past couple of weeks, I've posted 3 long-form articles covering: 1) The Problems with Humanoid Robots 2) The Path to Human-Capable Robots 3) The Path to Great AI for Human-Capable Robots If you're interested in this space or know people who are, please share. I try to go

The new generation of roboticists is wild 🤯 Talented, hungry, and so incredibly passionate! You have to be a tech optimist after meeting this caliber of people 🤩

Sora is an incredible technical achievement! Of course, Data is the secret sauce 🤫 but OpenAI continues to prove that, in "pure Deep Learning", iteration speed at scale is a superpower to figure out the model details (building upon excellent academic work like Saining's👇)

This is a great example: amazing pixels, hilariously bad physics 🤣 A world model indeed, just not our world (maybe Harry Potter's 🤔). Still a lot of work to do before we have a useful learned simulator for robots! (Does not mean it will take a long time though...)

I will be at GTC in San Jose tomorrow: looking forward to catching up with my GPU-hungry friends! Happy to chat if you are building in the space of Embodied AI or more generally putting AI to work. And if you are not, what are you waiting for? The time is now 😁

Is robotics a data problem? What if we crack scalable embodied data collection? There is mounting evidence for this hypothesis, but it is very hard to test. Until DROID! Congrats on the release Sasha and team! This has been a major labor of love and will have a wide impact!

Want to work with real robots doing real work? Look no more and join one of our stellar startups!

This is spot on! Prompting or fine-tuning models is just the beginning. The real magic unfolds with domain-specific evaluation—essential for ML applications but crucial in embodied AI. Success hinges on the operational design domain (ODD) and the testing hierarchy (data, sim,

Wow! I don't know if people fully realize how massive of an achievement this is. There are so many details that had me go 🤯 Tony & co continue to deliver incredible results! Congrats!

Over the last year at TRI we’ve been training Large Language Models, including results in the following areas: Scaling: arxiv.org/abs/2403.08540 Alignment: arxiv.org/abs/2402.12366 As a part of upcoming work, we are sharing back with the open source community and releasing a

Robotics is at a major inflection point. The Cambrian explosion of Embodied AI that prompted me to action a few months ago (adriengaidon.com/posts/2024/02/…) is happening, big time! This ICRA, the top conference in robotics, will be one for the ages! I will be giving a talk about 3D

Amazing keynote at #ICRA2024 by Yoky Matsuoka on being a corporate explorer and crossing the boundary between research and product. It is a great time to put robotics ideas into action, but it is by no means easy to cross that chasm! Yoky shared a lot of hard earned insights that

As an Advisory Board Member for the upcoming #EON2024 conference, I’m thrilled to share that Rodney Brooks is our keynote speaker! Rod is a legendary figure in robotics and AI, the founder and CTO of RobustAI, and a personal hero of mine. From his many papers, companies,

Do you wonder if you should build or join a startup in embodied AI? Many people at #ICRA2024 have asked me about this and my uncommon move to VC at Calibrate Ventures. So, after some encouragement from the organizers of the RoboNeRF workshop, I decided to generalize my talk to share

The most popular workshops at #CVPR2024 on Tuesday seem to be on 1) Embodied AI, 2) Generative Models (judging by queue lengths in front of the rooms). No surprise there 😉 Come say hi if you are around!

Exciting news today for GrayMatter Robotics as they announce a $45M Series B fundraise! We are thrilled to continue backing them in their efforts to accelerate AI-powered #robotics for #manufacturing. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

We're excited to share that Brad Porter, CEO and founder of Cobot, will be speaking at #EON2024! As the former VP of Robotics at Amazon, he will discuss what he learned on the journey helping Amazon scale from 50,000 robots to over 500,000 robots, and share insights on the
