Thrilled to announce I’m joining @JHUCompSci as a CS PhD student with @mangahomanga. Looking forward to collaborating with new faculty members @_krishna_murthy, @jmin__cho, @anand_bhattad, @HaiminHu & @zihyunchiu and being part of this rising community. Great things ahead!

Launching my research group, MAGIC (Manipulation and General Intelligence Control) Lab @NUSComputing, Singapore! We focus on building the next generation of human-centric models for robotic manipulation — deployable safely, reliably, and easily in the real world. Our research spans MLLM reasoning, 3D vision, robot learning, simulation, dexterous manipulation, and cross-embodiment learning. Interested in joining? Sign up here and I'll send a reminder email: forms.gle/oJPLR2pLTt8kLC…

Apparently, my students have brought binoculars to their office to bird watch during the day. The advantages of our new beautiful @HopkinsDSAI office space. 🦜🦆🕊️ Should I be worried about productivity?

We are back. After one year of quiet building. Introducing GENE-26.5, our first robotic brain that takes a major step toward human-level capability. For years, robotics has struggled to learn from the world’s largest and valuable data source: Humans. Solving it means rethinking the whole stack from the ground up: - A robotics-native foundation model. - A 1:1 human-like robotic hand. - A noninvasive data collection glove for motion, force, and touch. - A simulator that turns weeks of experiments into minutes. GENE-26.5 is trained across language, vision, proprioception, tactile, and action. We designed a set of tasks to test how far we can go with this new paradigm. Fully autonomous, 1x speed, one model, same weights. (Enjoy with sound on) We are approaching the endgame for robotics. And this is just a beginning.

[Major life updates] 🎉 After 4 incredible years of my PhD at @UW @uwcse with @fox_dieter17849 and @RanjayKrishna, I'm joining @NUSComputing as an Assistant Professor this August, under the Presidential Young Professorship scheme! More details 🧵👇

@DJiafei Congratulations @DJiafei ✨

4 years have been simply amazing! I’m happy to share that I have successfully defended my PhD! Thank you to everyone who came to support me, and most importantly, to my thesis committee, advisors, collaborators, friends, and family for being part of this journey.

We're thrilled to organize the 2nd Workshop on Agents in Interactions: From Humans to Robots! Submit your best work by May 8 and join us at CVPR in Denver to discuss research in this exciting space w/ @yufei_ye @DandanShan_ @jiaman01 @xiaolonw Alan Yuille

Checkout @mihirp98's amazing work!!

@kashu_yamazaki 🤣you want cheap and good UI. Thats hard. Sprint tax is also good costs 50 bucks.

@off_jangir Glacier UI is awful; never tried Sprint tax - is it good?

Tax Return のベストプラクティスを知りたい👀 今年もTurboTaxに$300払ったから絶対Optimalではない🫠

@_krishna_murthy @JHUCompSci @HopkinsDSAI @DexmateAI @anand_bhattad @mangahomanga Congratulations! @_krishna_murthy

Robot learning is growing at @JHUCompSci @HopkinsDSAI Thanks @DexmateAI for supporting us! @anand_bhattad @mangahomanga Greg Hager and I put this proposal together. I just happened to be the one to hit submit :)

@simi_97k @premium Is this on credit card? If yes can you block the payment from there ? Ask the card company to do it? The amount was taken without your permission

Frustrated, hence taking this route. X @premium charged me 395$ to auto-renew my premium plus subscription which was ~120$ last year and I received no notification of the 4x price increase or the auto-deduction, ever. This seems against customer protection rights in my opinion, and they denied my refund request. I told them I'm a student and this is ridiculous. Any advice on what I can do?

We have fully open-sourced all of our code, and you can now test our VLA on CALVIN and LIBERO-Pro.: github.com/Vision-Languag… Have fun building and steering your pre-trained policy.

New release led by @s1wase Further lowers the barrier of entry into bimanual manipulation + learning. Flexible teleop/IK/perception. Easy setup to replicate tri-ml.github.io/raiden/

@itsdanielho 🤞 congratulations!!

A personal update: After two years at 1X, I’m moving on to something new. I joined 1X to solve general-purpose robotics, through the lens of evaluation. We bet on humanoid world models early in 2024. I’m proud of our work showing how the 1X World Model can solve the offline evaluation problem: judging policy quality by accurately predicting expected state and reward within the test-time distribution. We've then showcased how these same world models can leverage their understanding of robot manipulation to act as policies, generalizing far beyond the tasks in training data. Scaled deployments of robots in homes requires confidence in policy performance in unknown environments, and generalization across environments and skills. To my colleagues at 1X, It's been an honor working with you all. I'm inspired by the world-class team and humanoid that we’ve assembled and continue to assemble. In California, we’ve grown from a few robotics researchers in a one room office to a campus for large-scale manufacturing and research engineering. I’ve now joined the founding team at Project Prometheus as a member of technical staff. I've also moved up to San Francisco! Reach out if you'd like to grab coffee and chat AI in the physical world.
