🤖$200,000 ROBOTICS CHALLENGE @ ICRA 2025💸

A great pleasure working with Jitendra MALIK on the course! I'm always inspired by Jitendra's genuine passion for staying at the cutting edge of developments, and the abilities to new learn things so fast!! Highly recommend this unique and fun robotics course to everyone!!!

When Zhao-Heng Yin first told me about this idea, I wasn't impressed. "How far can you get with teleoperation for hands?" I asked. Turns out, quite far :) really excited to see the unprecedented dexterity unleased by human motion prompt + sim-to-real, and look forward to more!!!

A benefit of training RL policies is that they can develop remarkably dynamic and creative motions. I really enjoy looking at these handover policies so just wanted to share XD the right one is a genius

Please check our paper, video, and website for more details! Joint work between Berkeley AI Research and @NVIDIA. Amazing team of collaborators: Kartik Sachdev (NVIDIA) Jim Fan Jitendra MALIK Yuke Zhu

Please let us know if you have recommendation on robot hands that get closer to human-level dexterity -- particularly in terms of tactile sensing and active DoFs 🤖 🙌🏻

It’s always a joy to witness Toru’s policies in action. Sim2Real RL for dexterous manipulation is incredibly challenging but holds great promise. Huge respect to Toru and congratulations!

kind of funny that X flagged one of my humanoid videos as adult content... well I have to say it's a bare robot indeed🤣 Elon Musk ?

Incredible work from Toru! Training a humanoid robot for dexterous manipulation with vision-based Sim2Real RL—no human demonstrations needed! The results speak for themselves. Check it out! 🔥🤖

IKR THANK YOU😭 the pain is... if you know you know

When Toru first shared this with me, I was quite impressed: "Wow, vision manipulation policy sim-to-real.” Incredible progress in exploring the potential of the pure sim-to-real approach!

Humanoid + DexManipulation + RL + Sim2Real + Vision—this is the recipe! Check out Toru’s latest work on vision-based dexterous manipulation with a two-handed humanoid robot—check out their “recipe” here: toruowo.github.io/recipe/

Thanks for inviting -- it was great fun chatting with Mike & Chris! And lowkey announcement - the code for our last sim-to-real RL work has been released, feel free to check it out and see how it can help with your next project ;))) github.com/ToruOwO/twisti…

Really excited about the amazing speaker lineup! Come join our workshop on June 25th this year ✨

The 4th workshop on Dexterous Manipulation is officially calling for papers!!! Come showcase your work and mingle with our brilliant speaker lineups, with opportunities to win cash prizes 💸 and free LEAP hands 🤖 We look forward to seeing you at Seoul! ;)
