QT-Opt wins best system paper award at CoRL 2018! Congrats to Dmitry Kalashnikov and the other co-authors. Here is a video -- end-to-end deep RL for grasping new objects at 96% success rate from only RGB images. arxiv.org/abs/1806.10293 youtube.com/watch?v=z-2q1e…

Also, you’ll be able to drive it from your phone remotely like a big RC car if in line of sight

JeVois: tiny open-source camera+ARM with ConvNet-based vision. Runs Linux, OpenCV, TF, etc. $59. Pretty cool. jevois.org jevois.org

50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and I launched into space on a mission of enormous importance. God bless the 400,000 Americans who helped us get to the moon and back. Together, we Americans can do anything! Never forget July 16, 1969! #Apollo50

I wrote a blog post about how we can build increasingly intelligent robots & deploy them in the real world, outside of factories. It cites a bunch of awesome research from a lot of really smart friends/colleagues! Part 1 link.medium.com/EPTedelFZ0 Part 2 link.medium.com/7iTdjv2KZ0

I learned a lot from this comprehensive review of recent breakthroughs in robotics and challenges in deploying robots in the real world.

Simon Kalouche Very insightful commentary Simon Kalouche ! Thank you for sharing!

Robotics is moving! Hot area! techcrunch.com/2021/03/11/nim…

Nimble's goal is to beat Amazon in affordable, on-demand eCommerce fulfillment with the next generation of robotic warehouses. Excited to add Fei-Fei Li and Sebastian Thrun to our board in this next phase of Nimble's legendary journey! techcrunch.com/2021/03/11/nim…

I studied groups that have made outstanding technological achievements. What they have in common: Curiosity, a big vision, an initial attack vector, a way to measure progress, people oriented towards rapid advancement, and a relentless focus on the few things that matter.

These are the 10 coolest #robotics startups of 2021 (so far) - Learn about them here: buff.ly/2UnTLMq - Dusty Robotics - Locus Robotics - @nimble_ai - Picnic - Rapid Robotics - Realtime Robotics - RightHand Robotics - Scythe Robotics - Skydio - Starship Technologies #CRNYearSoFar

Takeaway from Andrej Karpathy's CVPR talk: The most successful ML projects in prod (Tesla, iPhone, Amazon drones, Zipline) are where you own the entire stack. They iterate not just ML algorithms but also: - how to collect/label data - infrastructure - hardware ML models run on
