Feel free to make fun of my "Professor Wood" plaicraft.ai role. #plaicraft This project has been approved by the UBC ethics board (UBC BREB NUMBER: H23-02389). youtu.be/PdIjQAhQ3Xk

For my AD and ADAS V&V and RL research friends in general, I'm happy to announce the release of TorchDriveEnv, a new Gym env. with data-driven NPCs, i.e. the blue agents. The red is a partially trained SAC agent. This is generative AI for behavior. inverted.ai/company/blog/t…

The TorchDriveEnv gym environment is open source, pip installable, and hard (in an interesting for research way). Check it out: github.com/inverted-ai/to…

I'm really happy to share that Jeff Schneider has joined the Inverted AI board of directors. With as much data as early Tesla, world class predictive models, and now an even more amazing team, we're poised to massively accelerate safe AV/ADAS control. inverted.ai/company/blog/j…

Who would have thought that video diffusion world models can be effectively and efficiently learned in a continual, life-long learning fashion? plai.cs.ubc.ca/2024/10/30/lif…

linkedin.com/posts/frank-wo… Many, many thanks to the Ansys team for giving Inverted AI huge exposure at #CES2025. Our ITRA behavior models in AVx are poised to massively impact the AV/ADAS space. Stay tuned.

Only a few like Nando de Freitas and @drjimfan know about our embodied AI efforts and how far they've come already. For the rest of you, the initial teaser #plaicraft data release associated to our NeurIPS data track paper is here: blog.plaicraft.ai/2025/05/18/pub…

If you're at CVPR'25 I'll be giving a very short talk on AV3.0 (COSMOS + Inverted AI prediction and planning models and data inverted.ai/company/blog/f…) in the sites.google.com/view/cvpr25-tu… tutorial. Somewhere just after 11am.
