Can't wait to attend my first IEEE ICRA conference next week! If you want to geek out in person about self-supervised representation learning, and visuotactile robot learning for manipulation tasks, feel free to ping me! C U there 🎌 #icra2024

Visit #ProxyTouch workshop at IEEE ICRA to get a glimpse of our recent and upcoming work in visuotactile representation learning and robot learning for manipulation. #ICRA2024

Wait, what? A new "paper explained" blog post, not even a year after the last one? Ok enough with the self-sarcasm. Check out my take on Diffusion Policy here: link.medium.com/Wfxkn2cAbMb

Truly honored to be featured on the cover of Computer Vision News! Huge thanks for highlighting my work. Grateful for all the support! 🙌 #computervision #visuotactile #reinforcementlearning

All the recent big robot projects use vision, rarely using touch, even though touch feedback is essential for sensing and reasoning about contacts. Why? Because tradition`al touch sensors are too expensive, are difficult to integrate, and are inconsistent. Our fix: AnySkin

True generalist robots need real-world data alongside VLMs. But how do we achieve this? My bet is through imitation learning. Fast and (relatively) good policies to kick-start the data flywheel mentioned by Sergey Levine .

The 2nd edition of my #ReinforcementLearning 477-page textbook for my course at ASU has just been published and is freely available at the book's website web.mit.edu/dimitrib/www/R… which also contains slides, videolectures, and supporting material

Today at Meta FAIR we’re announcing three new cutting-edge developments in robotics and touch perception — and releasing a collection of artifacts to empower the community to build on this work. Details on all of this new work ➡️ go.fb.me/mmmu9d 1️⃣ Meta Sparsh is the
