Registrations for the Robotic Vision Summer School 2025 are open! Join us at the beautiful Australian Pacific coast for a week full of robotic vision lectures, hands-on practicals, and research spotlights! Learn from the best, make new friends, have fun! rvss.org.au

Got a steamdeck to play games, obvious first test was to install Gazebo Simulator and Robot Operating System (ROS) using #pixi. Can't stress enough how easy that was thanks to RoboStack

#CVPR2025 papers done!!! What an epic effort by Alejandro Fontán, Connor, Tobias Fischer and Somayeh 👏👏👏 linkedin.com/posts/michaelj…

🪸🤖 Tobias Fischer and I are looking for diligent PhD students to work on real-world tasks in #underwater perception. Whether you are driven by #marine conservation or passionate about designing cutting-edge #AI for complex environments, we’d love to hear from you! QUTRobotics

We're delighted to introduce our newest HDR students in the QUT Centre for Robotics! Welcome Vignesh, Dhyey, Brittany and Thomas! Find out more: bit.ly/3YUtBOT #Robotics #Engineering

Come and join us QUTRobotics and work on #underwater #perception - more info: qut.edu.au/research/study… Please share widely :)

Hi #CVPR2025 - do you know when reviewer allocations will be made available? Christmas break is coming up ..

🚨New paper alert: Matched Filtering-based LiDAR Place Recognition for Urban 🏙️ and Natural 🌲 Environments Congrats to Therese for having the 2nd paper of her PhD accepted to IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters: linkedin.com/posts/michaelj… QUTRobotics Tobias Fischer

Researchers from QUTRobotics present an energy-efficient place recognition system leveraging Spiking Neural Networks with modularity and sequence matching to rival traditional deep networks ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10770… #PlaceRecognition #SpikingNeuralNetworks #RobotPerception

Wow, MegaLoc is also the ideal model for underwater localization! Really interesting domain 🌊🦞🐟⛵️ Paper: Image-Based Relocalization and Alignment for Long-Term Monitoring of Dynamic Underwater Environments Beverley Gorry, Tobias Fischer, Michael Milford, FTSE 🤖🚘🐀🧠📘🗣️, Alejandro Fontán

Localized 📍🗺️! Very cool - used Gabriele Berton's AstroLoc: Worldwide Aerial Image Localizer on my Brisbane to Melbourne flight today! Just snapped a shot out the window, few seconds later, voila! Localized! Try it yourself: fcc5900b21869ea8d6.gradio.live Tobias Fischer

I'm very excited to host the Robotics Worldwide Workshop at MIT with Amanda Prorok next week! We have an incredible lineup of roboticists from around the world who will join us at MIT for lightning talks, a panel discussion, and a poster session.
