Best Systems Paper Award in Memory of Seth Teller was given to P. Foehn, D. Brescianini, E. Kaufmann, T. Cieslewski, M. Gehrig, M. Muglikar, D. Scaramuzza for “AlphaPilot: Autonomous Drone Racing” - Congratulations! roboticsconference.org/program/papers…

We'll reach #Artificial general Intelligence when the #ikea furniture assembling robot thinks: "screw it, these instructions must be wrong, I'm going to start drilling random screw holes everywhere" Juxi Leitner@ RSS2025 Pieter Abbeel Gary Marcus Rodney Brooks #ArtificialIntelligence QUTRobotics

Robotics has a need for combining publications and code!

What a beautiful visualization!

Great example of differences in visual speed perception caused by varying fields of view on forward facing cameras, relevant to visual odometry, #robotics, #AutonomousVehicles etc... #reddit v.redd.it/9fodqrc1ik661

How to keep drones flying when a motor fails? Researchers at the University of Zurich and TU Delft Robotics show how onboard cameras can be used to keep damaged quadcopters in the air and flying stably – even without GPS. Davide Scaramuzza bit.ly/35Def6F

Check out our new paper on Data-Driven MPC for Quadrotors to counteract aerodynamic effects! Up to 70% reduction in trajectory tracking error at speeds up to 14m/s and accelerations beyond 4g! Paper, code, video: github.com/uzh-rpg/data_d… Elia Kaufmann Philipp Foehn UZH Space Hub

#RSS2021 did the submission close too early?

We are excited to announce our new, indoor, drone-testing arena! Equipped with 36 Vicon cameras and with 30x30x8m of flight space, we can deploy advanced perception, learning, control algorithms to push vision-based agile drones to speeds over 60 km/h and accelerations over 5g!

We are excited to announce our latest paper in Science Robotics on agile flight allowing us to generate "time-optimal quadrotor trajectories" that are faster than human #FPV #droneracing pilots! Paper: rpg.ifi.uzh.ch/docs/ScienceRo… Full video: youtu.be/ZPI8U1uSJUs Kudos Philipp Foehn

Together with #HILTI, I am co-organizing the #IROS2021 HILTI #SLAM Challenge! Win up to $10,000 prize money and a keynote IROS workshop invitation! Instructions: hilti-challenge.com w/ Michael Helmberger

This summer I've been working to finally understand Lie Theory, the basis for proper estimation on over-parameterised manifolds like SE(3). There are some great tutorials for the roboticist out there; I especially like Micro Lie Theory by Solà et al. arxiv.org/abs/1812.01537

We are excited to release the code (github.com/uzh-rpg/rpg_ti…) of our latest paper in Science Robotics on "time-optimal quadrotor trajectories" that are faster than human #FPV #droneracing pilots! Paper:rpg.ifi.uzh.ch/docs/ScienceRo… Full video: youtu.be/ZPI8U1uSJUs

We keep talking about incremental development; we don't talk enough about decremental development.
