#ICRA40 is kicking off this morning, celebrating 40 years of IEEE ICRA

#ICRA40 Day 1: lots of great speakers and a panel discussion with some of the great thinkers in robotics. Some highlights were Ken Goldberg's talk summarising the limits of scaling AI for robotics and the place of GOFE plus talks by Sangbae Kim, Yukie Nagai and Ruzena Bajcsy

Day 2 of #ICRA40 - Interactive presentations instead of posters and some inspiring and enlightening talks by Nick Roy, Oliver Brock from the RBO Lab - TU Berlin and Dieter Fox from NVIDIA Robotics.

Day 3 of #ICRA40 featuring an interactive session talking about DreamUp3D a 3D single-view Object-Centric #GenerativeAI Model (OCGM), the 40th birthday party for ICRA and the always engaging Marc Raibert talking about Boston Dynamics and @the_ai_inst

It was great having the Vice-Chancellor visit the robotics institute to film an episode of the Fire and Wire series

First of the "ML Nosh" series at University of Oxford with M A Osborne talking about insuring #AI models and how this is necessary for widespread adoption. Thanks for organising Professor Shivaji Sondhi and others

Take a look at the new mobile manipulator #Robot that is finally out of stealth from Cobot

Very excited to share with you what our team World Labs has been up to! No matter how one theorizes the idea, it's hard to use words to describe the experience of interacting with 3D scenes generated by a photo or a sentence. Hope you enjoy this blog! 🤩❤️‍🔥

The TidyBot mobile manipulator has been released 🤖

Great to have Jannik Zürn from Wayve visit the Oxford Robotics Institute University of Oxford and present their work on foundation models and simulation models.

Piano playing robot designed and built from scratch by one of the Oxford Robotics Institute talented engineers (Matthew Graham). A good demonstration of the calibre of engineers we are lucky to have supporting us.

Pretty excited to try this simulator out. Lots of features that are useful for robotics researchers

After an amazing journey with Oxford Robotics Institute and Oxford Applied AI Lab at the University of Oxford, I'm moving on to new things in 2025. Grateful for the opportunity to work with the fantastic people and contribute to the world leading research happening here! Stay tuned to see what's next!

Visited the robotics lab at WashingtonUniversity yesterday. Thanks Siddhartha Srinivasa and Yi Ru (Helen) Wang for showing us around! Saw a few bimanual manipulation setups for projects run by Sid and Abhishek Gupta

Why are bimanual robots required in the future? Take this occluded grasping task where it is impossible to grasp the object without adding your own constraints to the environment. Really cool work lead by Jun Yamada at Oxford Applied AI Lab

Had the opportunity to tour an Amazon fulfilment centre this week and even though I was expecting it, the scale is impressive! So much data, computer vision and plenty of robots. Lots of potential for further automation to improve the work experience for workers at the centres.

Great to see Collaborative Robotics recognised as one of 50 winners in the 2025 RBR50 Innovation Awards! 🏆 Really huge congrats to the team for building something truly next-level. See the article here:tinyurl.com/4dkryexf The Robot Report #RBR50 #Robotics #Innovation #Cobot

Looking to buy more ALOHA-style leader-follower setups - considering WidowX (Trossen Robotics),Piper (AgileX Robotics), or the R5 (ARX). Anyone have hands-on experience or thoughts on which is the better all-round system? Any suppliers that I'm missing? #robotics #ALOHA
