When I was a teenager, I was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. During treatment, doctors have made some gross errors simply due to inattention. I am glad that such tools are emerging to help reduce negligence.

My coworker was just telling me today that they did this PR. And here I am already reading about it here. Awesome!

NOW WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE

Figure's engineering leads answered some questions from IEEE Spectrum. ⦿ Figure 02 has a couple hundred unique parts ⦿ Symmetrically swappable legs are for ease of manufacturing ⦿ MPC (Model predictive control) for walking ⦿ Targeting a 5-hour runtime from a single charge

We have released the YouTube recording of our #RSS2024 workshop on "Geometric and Algebraic Structure in Robot Learning"! 🎥Youtube: youtube.com/playlist?list=… 🏠Webpage: sites.google.com/view/gas-rl-rs…

Thanks AK! Finally, robot can do continuous, agile, autonomous, adaptive jumping over stair and stepping stone Key idea: combine the pros of model-free RL and model-based control. RL (for CoM refs) + QP (for GRF) + WBC (for torque) Open-sourced: yxyang.github.io/jumping_cod/

Sim2Real RL works by scaling up offline computation in training time. How about scaling up online computation using sampling-based MPC in test time? DIAL-MPC is a training-free sampling-based MPC method that adopts the key idea from diffusion to gradually refine solutions via

Nikolai Matni : What Makes Learning to Control Easy or Hard? CMU Robotics Institute Seminar (September 20 2024) youtube.com/watch?v=3z4XlW…

🎙️I gave a talk "Building Generalist Robots with Agility via Learning and Control: Humanoids and Beyond" at the CMU RI Seminar and Michigan AI Symposium. It covers LeCAR Lab at CMU's research and my thoughts on building agile generalist robots. Recording: youtu.be/Uym3Tr6t5TM

I'd like to know how they achieved such a soft gait -_-

I’m officially heading to #Humanoids2024 and can’t wait to connect with fellow researchers and robotics enthusiasts! 🚀 See you there!

I think people are over fixated on cost of humanoids too early: - everyone obsessed with Elon saying we are going to have them for $20,000 - every Kai Cenat fan page saying EVE is 24,000 (it’s not) - unitree changing its prices and creating a lot of buzz Imo the conversation

Humanoids have come so far—it’s amazing to see how much the field has transformed! 🚀 Back when I started my PhD 15 years ago, the focus was on mastering the fundamentals: balance, walking on level ground/mild rough terrain, foot placement strategies, capture point, operational

"Everything is a Lagrangian submanifold..." Forget particles. Forget waves. Alan Weinstein quipped that the universe is built from something entirely different: Lagrangian submanifolds. What are those, and why should you care? To grasp Lagrangian submanifolds, you first need to

New episode! 🎙️ Today, we dive into Richard Bellman’s legacy as the father of dynamic programming. 🧠 From his early life in Brooklyn to Princeton, Los Alamos, RAND, and Stanford, we explore his monumental contributions to control theory, which set the stage for modern AI 🚀

Will humanoids use primarily rotary or linear actuators? While I am heavily quoted in this article, here is my unequivocal take How important are planetary roller screws to humanoid bot development? 🧵

1) Many of the team members will be around the poster for Meta Motivo at: 📍Hall 3 + Hall 2B #555 📅 Thu 24 Apr 10 AM — 12:30 PM Don't forget to check out the demo for yourself: metamotivo.metademolab.com and the paper now on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2504.11054 x.com/AIatMeta/statu…

🚨 We're hiring a Postdoc in Robot Learning @ PEARL Lab, TU Darmstadt 🚨 Join our ERC-funded project SIREN (Structured Interactive Perception and Learning for Holistic Robotic Embodied Intelligence). We’re developing methods that will enable robots to understand and adapt to

I just love the title of this paper :)
