Incredibly excited to share that Neural MP got accepted to IROS as an Oral presentation!! Huge congrats to the whole team (Jiahui(Jim) Yang, Russell Mendonca , youssef khaky, Russ Salakhutdinov, Deepak Pathak), but especially Jiahui(Jim) Yang for making this happen after I graduated! This now

Yes!! Thrilled to present Neural MP at IROS🥳. We’ve also been pushing this line of work even further! Stay tuned, big things coming soon😜

Cool work on neural motion planning. much more challenging problem in a lot of ways than vision-language models - because you have to be able to come up with paths between any pair of configurations. good general purpose tool.

Active perception is a critical skill for robotic manipulation!

Great work by AP to ship this officially today :) Can’t wait for it to come to the Bay

🤖 🚀

Hopefully one day we will have FSD deliver Optimus to customer doorsteps too :P Or a legion in a Tesla Semi, that would be cool

As someone who has often just done this based intuition, this would be super useful in general ngl Would love to see a slightly more formal treatment

Taking “teleop” to the next level 🧠 🤖 Jk but like very cool result didnt think it was possible to do this

Incredibly simple method to induce novel task solving during inference time: warm start denoising with human priors!

Full self delivering

This is what we get the PhD for, FINALLY I get to use the flex Let's hope if something goes wrong and they ask is a doctor on board, people don't look for me...

Welcome Bingjie Tang! Very excited to have you here with us to build the humanoid robotics future!

🦿🦾

Bio + AI is the future and evaluation of models aka benchmark is the key to accelerating progress. Check out this great work from Taykhoom Dalal that builds up a comprehensive suite for evaluating mRNA foundation models! Definitely worth a read for those interested in getting

Robot scifi future is upon us Baby steps 🍿

This is a significant leap forward for grasping! Scaling in sim is definitely the right approach this problem.

Cool work by Mihir and co! Will be interesting to see if these findings hold at frontier scale

Gotta get the power of the sun in my hand iykyk ☀️
