Ferdinand wins the Young genius award for an outstanding performance. The award was presented by American Actor and Walking Dead star- Khary Payton From Makoko to the world. It is indeed possible to do great things from a small place.

My workflow before Gemini 2.5 1. Start a project - I understand the entire codebase 2. Loop in cursor agent to work faster - Cursor, God and I understand the codebase 2 minutes later - Only God understands the codebase Thank you Google DeepMind 😂

Having served on multiple PhD admissions rounds Brown University , one thing is clear: there are far more qualified applicants than spots—sometimes literally 10 spots for thousands of hopefuls. Rejection isn’t personal. It sucks, but if you keep going, you will do great things.

Great point! Mirrors a cool thing my PhD Advisor taught me: Intelligence is not the ability to do one thing very well but rather being able to do or learn to do anything well enough! We should be aiming to build the latter not the first

Incredibly LOCKED IN right now!!!

Just let him cook😂

Why did only humans invent graphical systems like writing? 🧠✍️ In our new paper at CogSci Society, we explore how agents learn to communicate using a model of pictographic signification similar to human proto-writing. 🧵👇

Trying out spawn.co currently. Very impressive! You can see the team put a lot of thought into user experience. Congratulations Jacob and the entire team jacob ⛵️

Throwback to some experiments I ran in 2022 in our lab bigAI before humanoid robots became all the rage. Might revisit this "transformer" robot for demonstrations of my current work.

I built this context brick by brick

When Benedict Quartey ’18 joined Ashesi, he wasn’t planning on a PhD. His senior capstone project, however, a low-cost self-driving vehicle platform for research use, sparked something new. Today, he works at the intersection of academia and industry. As a research scientist,

Had a great time talking about AI with Ashesi University ! Excited for the new Master’s program!

It’s been a crazy few weeks chasing CORL then Neurips back to back. Looking forward to #ICRA2025 in Atlanta. Reach out if you would be around and want to chat.

In 2023, it looked like Google was falling behind in AI. I remember telling my lab mates to give it time, it’s no coincidence that many of the fundamental ideas driving the current wave were invented at Google. Spoke with Jeff Dean later that year at NeurIPS and remember him

Presenting today at #ICRA2025 during the task and motion planning session 3 from 15:40-15:45 Room 312. Pass by let’s chat if you are around.
