Renaud Detry

Excited to share that my student, Pinhao Song, will present his work at CoRL 2024! 🎉 He developed Implicit Grasp Diffusion (IGD)—a new grasp planner that merges the strengths of dense prediction and sampling-based methods. renaud-detry.net/publications/S…

@asurobot Very cool!

Control your robot with your smartwatch! 🤖 Our latest ICRA 2024 paper allows you do to Motion Capture from a smartwatch for tele-operation, data collection, drone control, etc. We also release all source code. :) #ASU #Robot #humanoid

At the AI in Robotics and Construction workshop at ERF2024. We designed a predictive model of shotcrete deposition, and carefully tuned it from data. The model captures the dynamics of shotcreting surprisingly well and allows us to efficiently control a shotcrete nozzle with MPC.

Beginning a 3-year term on the editorial board of Transactions on Robotics!

@glouppe Bien construit ton cours! Sympa les dias en Markdown 🙂

This Friday, I'll be already wrapping up my Deep Learning course for 2022-2023 😭 As a last treat 🍬, here is a quick 12-minute summary of my 12 weeks of classes, starting from MLPs all the way to LLMs, GNNs and diffusion models 🤖🦙youtu.be/UsngB4RRP8M

Very happy to be Program Chair of ICVS 2023, alongside @hiskov and Peter Corke. Submit your papers before May 29th, and join us in Vienna in September! Submission deadlines: Workshops: May 25, 2023 Papers: May 29, 2023 Conference: September 27-29, 2023 icvs2023.conf.tuwien.ac.at/contributions/

@asurobot Very cool 🙂

It's raining donuts: automated 3D object synthesis for robot grasping and manipulation. Follow-up to my earlier post. 100 objects are automatically created and simulated in Unity. Our pipeline uses StableDiff and generates a 3D mesh. #stablediffusion #3D #robot #unity3d #ASU

Read about our project on spacecraft pose estimation here: renaud-detry.net/publications/L…, where we show promising results on PnP-free DNN pose estimation. This work earned Antoine the best presentation award at AI4Space/ECCV last year 🎉

Little visit to @lanalpa's lab at DTU for Jonathan Becktor's PhD defense. Fantastic work, congrats! And good luck at JPL :-)

@TristanThrush @douwekiela @adinamwilliams @roger_p_levy @candacerossio @mmitchell_ai It's a two-way street, thank you so much for your sharp contributions!

Several mentors had a really profound impact on my research career. It takes a village. @douwekiela, @adinamwilliams, @roger_p_levy, @candacerossio, @renauddetry, @mmitchell_ai, Patrick Winston, Russ Tedrake, Josh Tenenbaum, plus many more. Thank you so much!

Life update: I’ve decided to join Stanford as a PhD student. Beyond happy for the chance to collaborate closely with the incredible researchers in the NLP group and broader AI lab!!!

I spoke to @businessamnl about our EU-funded construction robotics project @robetarme yesterday. Fragment at 52:16: businessam.be/radiotopic/the…

@WehenkelAntoine @jbhuang0604 Thanks for sharing! Great complement to goodreads.com/en/book/show/1…

@jbhuang0604 Donald Knuth course on the topic seemed great. Some students took notes of it: jmlr.csail.mit.edu/reviewing-pape…

What are your favorite suggestions/resources on "How to write a research paper"? Asking for a friend who needs to give a lecture in two weeks.

@guyvdb I approve :-) though did wince a bit at the explainability bit at the very end

Familiarizing ourselves with shotcreting for our EU project @robetarme, at Christiansen og Essenbæk A/S, Denmark. Shotcreting is a challenging task for robots because of poor visibility and complex process dynamics. #robotics #computervision #shotcrete #kuleuven

Concluding my lab’s first project with ESA. We studied means of detecting sample tubes on the Martian ground for the Mars Sample Return campaign. Thank you Israel Alvarez and Ignacio Perez for your hard work, and Tim Wiese, Laura Bielenberg and Pantelis Poulakis for your support!

Newly-funded EU project in autonomous shotcrete for construction robotics! We are opening two PhD positions to address the computer vision and adaptive manipulation challenges that underpin autonomous shotcrete. Apply here: renaud-detry.net/jobs/vac/kuleu…

Newly funded project! Together with Leuven's University Hospital, blending artificial intelligence with neural-implant signals to allow tetraplegic/locked-in patients to regain mobility and manipulation autonomy ☀️

Looking forward to joining the Human-Centered AI Conference this Saturday! Online registration: seaver.pepperdine.edu/events/human-c…
