As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

incredible comeback.

Well done Pete Florence and Andy Zeng. This is impressive dexterity with dual arm manipulators.

The Dex team at NVIDIA is defining the bleeding edge of sim2real dexterity. Take a look below 🧵 There's a lot happening at NVIDIA in robotics, and we’re looking for good people! Reach out if you're interested. We have some big things brewing (and scaling :)

If you're interested in working on learning from simulation, direct from perception and training at scale for multi-fingered hands please reach out to me and my colleagues. We are looking for talented researchers who have worked or have experience working on those problems.

The Gemini of the past (so appropriately named back then too). Mercury and Gemini are little less talked about, but they were both crucial steps before the Apollo.

in case you are wondering this is academia now

As you know I'm obsessed with power laws in biology, which is a biological consequence of fundamental principles, like energy conservation from the first law of thermodynamics. Geoffrey West showed how highly optimized biological networks—think blood vessels or respiratory

July has been a big month for Viser! - Released v1.0.0😊 - We did some writing Some demos👇

Love this quote attributed to Oscar Wilde: “To write well all you need to do is develop your mind. If you have thought deeply, nearly everything looks interesting.”

"anything wrong with this image?" is a good visual reasoning test for LLMs and they all fail

We’re hiring for folks to help out with our environment and eval efforts. September is going to be really fun, don’t miss out 🙂.

🚀NVIDIA Warp 1.9.0 is live! This release introduces CUDA 13 support, differentiable marching cubes for both CPU and GPU, and automatic tiling across linear solvers and FEM quadrature. Release v1.9.0 · NVIDIA/warp github.com/NVIDIA/warp/re…

Ever wish a robot could just move to any goal in any environment—avoiding all collisions and reacting in real time? 🚀Excited to share our #CoRL2025 paper, Deep Reactive Policy (DRP), a learning-based motion planner that navigates complex scenes with moving obstacles—directly

Happy to announce that we have finally open sourced the code for DextrAH-RGB along with Geometric Fabrics: github.com/NVlabs/DEXTRAH github.com/NVlabs/FABRICS

excited that VideoMimic was just nominated for an award at CoRL, see you soon in Seoul! 🇰🇷 we have also now also released our sim/real-robot deployment pipeline, including checkpoints and nice viser web viz -- check it out github.com/hongsukchoi/Vi…
