Playing piano 🎹 with two robot hands 🦾 combines challenges from dynamic and slower manipulation tasks. We now created means of generating huge motion datasets for piano play from millions of music sheets 🎶 available on the internet Very proud of Le Chen & Yi Zhao !!!

Now even being a pianist is not a safe job - or has it ever been?.. Amazing work - congratulations Dieter Büchler and colleagues!

RP1M is accepted at Conference on Robot Learning this year after a thorough rebuttal with seven (!!!) reviews. Never had that many before…

A #robot playing piano is a huge challenge in #robotics. 👩‍🔬🧑🏼‍🔬 from our Empirical Inference department found a way to unleash immense data generation for piano play, enabling usage of modern behavior cloning approaches: Le Chen Yi Zhao Jan Schneider Bernhard Schölkopf Dieter Büchler 🙌

#ThrowbackThursday: We welcomed Federal Minister Hubertus Heil to Cyber Valley! After viewing projects from Intelligent Systems, he spoke with the Cyber Valley Community about the challenges faced by qualified specialists from abroad 👉 cyber-valley.de/en/news/bundes… #BetterTogether #AI #AIFuture

We have just extended the deadline for our LocoLearn workshop to 27 October 2024 23:59 AoE Submit your contributions showing the impact of learning approaches in locomotion! Particularly, we encourage contributions on learning, active perception, and bioinspired locomotion.

The Dept of Computing Science at the University of Alberta is hiring! The new hires in AI will be nominated for a Canada CIFAR AI Chair position. We have 3 open TT positions: AI/ML/DL Theory: apps.ualberta.ca/careers/postin… AI + SWE: apps.ualberta.ca/careers/postin… Systems: apps.ualberta.ca/careers/postin…

This is a great place to be, with amazing peers. If you have questions about the position, feel free to contact me. If you are not familiar with the Canadian academic system, a Canada CIFAR AI Chair is a position that gives you lots of funding with little to no grant writing 😉

Just arrived in Vancouver for our #NeurIPS2024 tutorial on programmatic RL and code generation. Come join us tomorrow.

“There are no authorities in science,” says Turing Award winner Richard Sutton, Amii Fellow & Canada CIFAR AI Chair. Sit down with Rich and Cam Linke as they discuss the journey to this moment. Watch now: hubs.la/Q039xBP-0 #TuringAward #AI #ReinforcementLearning

Excited to welcome Dieter Buchler Dieter Büchler to the University of Alberta! We are bringing robotics and reinforcement learning together for an awesome, interactive, and experiential AI.

My team at Boston Dynamics has open Research Scientist positions! We are hiring full-time and interns. If you are excited about RL & humanoids, we want to get to know you!
