We found that training (multi-agent) policies to win a race with sparse competitive rewards leads to agile policies with strategic behaviors. These policies outperform the ones trained with behavioral-prescribing dense rewards and transfer better to the real world.

[1/5] Fine-grained teleop is slow, error-prone, and frustrating even for experts. We introduce a real2sim2real shared autonomy framework that learns a residual copilot for low-level corrections. It enables: 🎮 fine-grained teleop for novices 🤖 a copilot learned from <5 min of teleop data 📈 higher-quality demonstrations for imitation learning 🔗 residual-copilot.github.io

Simulation-to-reality transfer for multi-agent policies is still a niche space, but one that (I suspect) has substantial room for discovery and impact.

Last day of class of my brand-new course Physical Intelligence (lnkd.in/d9BMFG5d) at #UPenn. We concluded with a drone racing competition in the real world! I am really proud of all the students; I have no doubt that they will do great in the future!

(1/5) Open Publication and the Prisoners dilemma. The prisoner’s dilemma game can offer us much insight into the publication strategy of leading industrial AI research labs. Suppose there are two labs A and B. If A and B both publish they are both better off than if they both don’t publish as they can build on the results of each other.

I will join UChicago CS @UChicagoCS as an Assistant Professor in late 2026, and I’m recruiting PhD students in this cycle (2025 - 2026). My research focuses on AI & Robotics - including dexterous manipulation, humanoids, tactile sensing, learning from human videos, robot systems, and anything needed to make robots truly work and improve everyday life. I also place strong emphasis on open-source. Check my homepage to learn more: haozhi.io. Please reachout if you are interested! The deadline is Dec 11th. Link: tinyurl.com/uchiapp.

🤖🇮🇹🥳
Penn Engineering@PennEngineers

Congratulations to Antonio Loquercio (@antoniloq) on receiving the 2025 Mario Gerla Young Investigator Award from @issnaf. Recognized for his research on the pivotal role of perception in building effective world models for decision-making, Loquercio enhances the performance of complex robotic systems. He explores how robots can utilize their own sensor data to refine their world models. Congratulations, Antonio! bit.ly/4pbaUSE

It's funny that this is so controversial and yet it's obviously true.

@eigenrobot Even in birdsong learning in zebra finches the motor actions are not learned by imitation. The auditory result is reproduced, not the actions; in this crucial way it differs from LLM training.

My research group at @Princeton has an opening for a postdoc position. Recently, we have been working on foundational research for generalist robots that are safe, trustworthy, and capable: irom-lab.princeton.edu/research/ If you're interested, please email me with the tag [postdoc app] in the subject line.

🤖 Does VLA models really listen to language instructions? Maybe not 👀 🚀 Introducing our RSS paper: CodeDiffuser -- using VLM-generated code to bridge the gap between **high-level language** and **low-level visuomotor policy** 🎮 Try the live demo: robopil.github.io/code-diffuser/ (1/9)
