.Rupam Mahmood presenting our latest research at #CoRL2018

We have a poster child for excellent parenting and research! Seriously, this is great to see, and I wish it was more common in academic conferences and professional settings.

Proud to be part of it! Keep an eye on us at Kindred, with offices in Toronto and SF.

Our latest #research paper is now available. Check out Dmytro's blog to learn why in real world #robotic experiments, autoregressive policies (ARP) result in smoother and safer motion compared to conventional Gaussian policies. kindred.ai/blog/introduci… #reinforcementlearning

Here's a video of a Chimpanzee using Instagram. It's eye-opening. instagram.com/p/Bwf080_Bfby/

Congratulations to our #AI research team! "Autoregressive Policies for Continuous Control Deep Reinforcement Learning" was accepted to #IJCAI. Watch how ARPs result in improved exploration & sample efficiency in simulated & real world domains youtu.be/NCpyXBNqNmw IJCAIconf

When I last chatted with co-founder and head of AI James Bergstra he told me building Kindred was "a new approach to how to do robotics, and we didn’t know how long it would take." Now those reinforcement algorithms are revolutionizing the supply chain for leading retailers.

An update on our #COVID19 response: Our teams are connecting some of the largest hospital networks in Calif. w/ our vendors to deliver PPE supplies while we pivot resources so factory partners can make masks, gowns & scrubs for healthcare workers on the front lines.

Kindred appoints its Chief Operating Officer Marin Tchakarov to CEO and President, after a robust year of growth and performance at the company. Read more: ow.ly/8ErL50AWz6t

Congrats Kindred and everyone who supported us along the way. Tremendous opportunity ahead for machine learning to create new AI for production robots.

Long live Theano!

Also my mac just randomly restarted while I was typing an email, but 10s later I was right back in the action with restored tabs and the same half-finished sentence in gmail... both irritating and also amazing.

Thank you Silicon Valley Robotics 🐳 ! Kindred handled over 100M items this year alone, tremendous year-over-year and looks like much more again next year.

Can AI researchers please tweet: I am against racism, sexism, bullying and cancelling, and I believe in improving diversity, equity and inclusion in our AI community. We need to hear your voices! The students and the public need to know what most believe.

Adji Bousso Dieng I disagree. While there are a lot of pointless semantic debates about "what a clear definition of AGI would mean", I got into this field because I grew up reading about science fiction robots and would like to make some of those. I consider that dream to be "AGI"
