What if robot hands could acquire dexterity once, then reuse it to learn downstream tasks much faster?
Introducing ADEPT: a pre-training & post-training paradigm using RL entirely in sim, then zero-shot deploying visuo-tactile policies in the real world.

Some more 'cherry' picked field test adventures with Spot! :)
If you visited the @uwcherryblossom, did you “spot” an unusual visitor among the blooms? Researchers in the @UW #UWAllen’s #Robotics group recently took advantage of some nice weather to take our @BostonDynamics robot dog for a stroll around campus. #AI 1/4

Boston Dynamics collaborated with NVIDIA to demonstrate DextrAH-RGB, a workflow for dexterous grasping from stereo RGB input.
The end-to-end policy for Atlas robot, trained entirely in NVIDIA Isaac Lab, transfers zero-shot from simulation to the real robot.

Our work with Boston Dynamics on RL training workflows for Atlas (upper torso) manipulation. An amazing team to work with!

There's a growing need in #robotics to shift from preprogrammed tasks to perceptive and adaptive robots for collaborative environments. 📈

Wishing you a holiday season full of light and laughter as we flip over into the new year!

Atlas is autonomously moving engine covers between supplier containers and a mobile sequencing dolly, using ML to detect and localize the environment fixtures and individual bin. There are no prescribed or teleoperated movements. youtu.be/F_7IPm7f1vI

Cooking in kitchens is fun. BUT doing it collaboratively with two robots is even more satisfying!
We introduce MOSAIC, a modular framework that coordinates multiple robots to closely collaborate and cook with humans via natural language interaction and a repository of skills.

Excited about sampling-based MPC but tired of assuming everything is a Gaussian and unsure about the right way to adapt the distribution online? Check out our #CoRL2022 paper on "Learning Sampling Distributions for Model Predictive Control"! (1/8)

I have been working on a series that revisits core concepts in robotics in a contemporary light.
Starting with imitation learning and how it shows up in self-driving, on the simplest of problems!

We would all like our robots to live and work alongside fellow humans. But how should robots imitate us?
In this 10-part series, I dive deep into imitation learning, and build up a general framework. A journey through feedback, interventions and more!🧵bit.ly/3Bxv80m

Well, it finally happened. This #ICE International #StudentBan got me back into the “organizing effective lobbying action via twitter” game.
Want to make sure our lovely international students can keep their visas? Here’s how to do it:
