we open sourced the code to transform human videos into robot trajectories, so you can train robots with your hands 👐🏻 we used it in our recent paper R+X: Retrieval and Execution from Everyday Human Videos (ICRA 2025 🇺🇸) link and details in thread 🧵

Tomorrow morning at #ICRA2025, I will be presenting our findings on whether robots can learn dual-arm tasks from just a single demonstration. (Spoiler: they can!) Come along! This was led by my excellent PhD student Yilong Wang. Paper & videos here: robot-learning.uk/one-shot-dual-….

At #ICRA2025, I'm about to present: "R+X: Retrieval and Execution from Everyday Human Videos". By using a VLM for retrieval and in-context IL for execution, robots can now learn from just videos of humans! Led by George Papagiannis and Norman Di Palo. See: robot-learning.uk/r-plus-x

A few years ago, humanoids with legs walking around the ICRA exhibition was the new thing. This time, it’s the year of the hands! Tons and tons of humanoid hands! #ICRA2025
