What does it take to have a fun and smart robot to truly fit in a social context and hang out with people at places like museums? Interested in hearing your thoughts. youtube.com/watch?v=_nG6EX…

1/3 I’m currently #CVPR2024 in Seattle, having traveled from Europe with my daughters, including a 5-month-old I am nursing. I was particularly excited to share this experience with my eldest daughter. However, I was taken aback when kids were not allowed in. #cvpr2024

One motivation behind this work is that: If we understand the world abstraction up to conjugacy class, we will achieve the next generation of AI and representation learning. This insight is a direct consequence of representation theory in math.

It's a great honor to serve on TRO's editorial board! Please send us your exciting works to shape the future of robotics (that's right! one paper at a time, ideally with open source code :)

Introducing Equivariant Diffusion Policy, a novel sample efficient BC algorithm based on equivariant diffusion. Our method leverages the symmetry in policy denoising to boost learning — needing 5x less training data in sim and mastering complex tasks in real-world with <60 demos.

I teach computer science and challenge him to find any politics in my class. When political opinions start meddling with scholarship, it ceases being science and becomes activism.

cadete de la poesía nacional. Science *itself* is the body of knowledge and a process of arriving at it. While the process may be affected by the circumstances and people performing it, the knowledge it discovers is completely invariant to any societal organization, political opinion, or other similar matters
