Reliable Autonomous Systems Lab at MIT (REALM)

Our code is open source! Code: github.com/MIT-REALM/arch… Arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2309.08052 Web: mit-realm.github.io/breaking-thing… Video: youtu.be/gzhRVMUwqG0 🧵 (7/7)

By predicting a diverse set of possible failures prior to deployment, we can make sure robots of all sizes (from drones to power grids) stay safe. 🧵 (6/7)

Excited to present two works at #CoRL2023, both at Poster Session 6 on Thursday 4:15 pm! 🧵 (1/7)

An @MITAeroAstro team developed a machine-learning technique that can autonomously fly a plane through a difficult “stabilize-avoid” scenario while avoiding obstacles. Read more at MIT News news.mit.edu/2023/safe-and-…

Great @l4dc_conf talk by @mit_REALM PhD student Songyuan Zhang

@mit_REALM dinner after @l4dc_conf day 1

Come to the poster sessions and oral presentations! Yue’s work will appear in Poster Session 1 while Songyuan’s will appear in Poster Session 2. Songyuan will provide a deeper introduction to his work on Friday at the “Oral Presentations 4” time slot. See you there! (2/2)

REALM has two strong works being presented at @l4dc_conf this year. @YueMengTHU 's “Hybrid Systems Neural Control with Region-of-Attraction Planner” and Songyuan Zhang’s “Compositional Neural Certificates for Networked Dynamical Systems” will be presented! To learn more... (1/2)

Please attend @l4dc_conf, if you're interested in hearing from Yue first-hand!

A huge number robotics problems can be modeled as hybrid dynamical systems, and these are known to be difficult to define controllers for. In @YueMengTHU ‘s new work (accepted to L4DC), we have developed a method for designing controllers for this important class of systems!

Context: REALM has established its passion for differentiable simulation in several different results (see our work on Architect) and we were having a spirited discussion last week about how better sensor placement/design might be possible if we had a good (2/3)

An exciting question that came from a vigorous discussion at REALM last week: What differentiable simulators exist that can model soft robotic systems interacting withe the world? (1/3) #AcademicChatter #RoboticsChatter #DifferentiableSimulation
