Anyone know what the probability is of 2 neoprene cycling gloves turning almost completely inside out after being in a washing machine (with a spin cycle) for 30minutes?!

@AjdDavison @ki_ki_ki1 Did you see it open a packet of crisps? ;)

Seems to me like the final form factor for agile ground robots. Yes, legs are great, but why not have wheels too? (As pioneered by @ki_ki_ki1 et al!)

@NC_Renic @DoctorJRo How did the sword get there? Seems careless.

Reading the feedback

@AjdDavison Congratulations @AjdDavison - what an incredible amount of research and more than a fair share of brilliant demos over the years through your leadership. Cheers!

Thanks Margarita! Very proud to have been awarded this alongside Alison Noble tonight, joining this remarkable list of BMVA Distinguished Fellows: bmva.org/information/fe… As I said in my speech, the UK has always been a great place to do creative research in computer vision.

@AjdDavison Recommend J von Neuman's "The computer and the brain". He intriduces the history from analog computing for various differential equations for physical models & why digital was invented. It's good to revisit as we see how few bits might be ok for stochastic like computation in AI

Does anyone know a good reference for implementing a Kalman Filter using analog computing?

@rmurai0610 @lucacarlone1 @AjdDavison @paulhjkelly Congratulations!

I've passed my PhD viva! Thank you to my examiners @lucacarlone1 and Christos for all the great discussion, and to my supervisors @AjdDavison and @paulhjkelly for making my PhD journey fun and exciting!

@mpshanahan @mpshanahan just cycling along here in the UK and you're on the BBC radio4! I was just reading this tweet this morning 😂. I'm convinced we need more of your presence and awareness of your research. Also what was in section 2.4?

It helps (sadly) if you don't migrate fields too much, as I have done. You tend to lose visibility for your older work when you do. Also, I neglected a basic thing, which was to maintain a decent, up-to-date web page.

@karpathy Reminded me of the problem that's introduced in Snow Crash!

Reading a tweet is a bit like downloading an (attacker-controlled) executable that you instantly run on your brain. Each one elicits emotions, suggests knowledge, nudges world-view. In the future it might feel surprising that we allowed direct, untrusted information to brain.

@DoctorJRo Again!? 😲

@DoctorJRo It's like the mincepie is opening it's mouth and smiling at you with big gooey brandy cream eyes?? You made it do that right?

@MichaelRosenYes @LizStokoe I just keep looking at this list and wonder how can we help them want to read it? After thousands of years ... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_f…

Dear Mogg The liberal left woke sissies and lily-livered tank-top-wearing snowflakes are complaining that I wrote 'bollocks' on a report about Long Covid. Did Julius Caesar complain of shell shock? Semper elastoplast Boris

@AjdDavison Thanks @AjdDavison! There's lots to do (and a lot at the interface of online state estimation and ML). Your lab has been a major source of inspiring work for well over a decade on the fundamental building blocks that will enable low power compression of reality.

Brilliant recent talk from Richard Newcombe @rapideRobot (Meta Reality Labs) on the Project Aria wearable research device, contextualised AI, and always-on, low power distributed machine perception as the next big challenges in computer vision. youtu.be/hHsRg9NJ28Q?fe…

@pierregeorgel @AjdDavison @stevenjl Yep that was the model!

@AjdDavison @rapideRobot @stevenjl Hi Andrew, was the beetle a homage to Sutherland's VW? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutherlan…

What an honour to win a PAMI Helmholtz Award at #ICCV2021. DTAM (ICCV 2011) is a paper with few results, and barely got in as a poster. But once @rapideRobot and @stevenjl got the big laptop to Barcelona we showed people a live dense SLAM and AR demo they had never seen before!

@DoctorJRo Hahahaah

@DoctorJRo Used to be faster but it was too enticing.

A fun blog from our team and partners with a real potential to increase the places we can use SLAM with our devices whenever you've on the move in vehicles!

@AjdDavison What a brilliant and well deserved exclamation of what you've stood for and achieved to date - and we've all had incredible opportunities because of what you started @AjdDavison! Well done and keep going!

Very proud, and still a bit shocked, to share that I've been elected Fellow of the Royal Society. Thank you to my students and collaborators from Imperial College, Oxford, AIST, Dyson, Slamcore and beyond, and of course to my supportive family and friends! royalsociety.org/people/andrew-…

@DoctorJRo You made this wonderful version like "carnation" but more cor, and so it sounded like "Cornish" ... Lunch!

@DoctorJRo Was it the graverober one?How about the painter one?

@DoctorJRo Hmmm ..My first guess is "the murmuring" e8?
