One day we are going to wake up, after years of the consistent and pernicious pollution of critical information ecosystems, and deeply regret this era of thoughtless LLM deployment. A devastating loss of accuracy, clarity and conciseness -- for what?

Congratulations to the DLR - English EDAN team and their pilot Mattias Atzenhofer for winning the assistance robot race at CYBATHLON 2024 Replay: vimeo.com/1023562261

Would be extremely useful to open source the model so that people can experience it themselves👌 Robotics needs to go beyond demo videos! Inspiring work 🤓

🎇 I’m on the academic job market! I’m a PhD candidate at Machine Learning Dept. at Carnegie Mellon. My research tackles challenges that arise from the sequential nature of human-AI interaction. Toward this goal, my work involves: 🤖 reinforcement learning, 🧠 foundation models, and 👩‍💻 human-centered AI.

CDJ policy reinforcement learning (Cute dynamic jump policy)

I'll be at Conference on Robot Learning in Munich this week (with colleagues Gabriel Quéré Markus Knauer and others) Don't forget to come and see the in-hand manipulation demo with the Agile Justin robot by Dominik Winkelbauer and others

Some news from Stable-Baselines3 (master branch): - we added support for Gymnasium v1.0 (while being backward compatible with v0.29.1) - we added CrossQ algorithm in SB3 Contrib (a sample efficient replacement for SAC, without target network) SB3 v2.4.0 coming soon ;)

Cool demo on upside-down object re-orientation presented by the team from German Aerospace Center (DLR). #Robotlearning #ReinforcementLearning #AI #CoRL2024

🔊This is an important change all PyTorch users should be aware of: `weights_only=True` will now be the default behaviour in torch.load!

Reinforcement learning in #AI is hard, so I’ve made a website to collect answers I’ve given to common RL questions. It's named Decisions & Dragons. It’s launching with 8 questions and answers, but I will add to it in the future. A 🧵to give a preview with the link below.

Quick Python tip to improve error messages. When you throw an exception for an invalid value, give the user some feedback on what exactly that value was. We tried to follow this principle in our gym env checker: github.com/DLR-RM/stable-…

For those who are interested, the reviews are now publicly available. #OpenScience
