Proud to share our 150-page "proto-book" with Michael Bronstein @joanbruna Taco Cohen on geometric DL! Through the lens of symmetries and invariances, we attempt to distill "all you need to build the architectures that are all you need". geometricdeeplearning.com More info below! 🧵

Five years later, I stand by these predictions.

Great article by Kathryn Hulick! It reminds us how effortless tasks for humans are incredibly difficult for robots: - Ken Goldberg touches on grasping - Tianmin Shu explores common sense - Ashley explains DALL·E - And I go over robot navigation. sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/easy-f…

Our novel surgical approach is being developed to use proprietary human-like surgical robots to transport surgeons inside the patient to perform minimally invasive surgery. #robotics #surgery #medtech

What a terrific new application for drones:

I am very happy to share this news. Thank you for your encouragement and support! Pratap Tokekar

I DO remember this pic. Almost all significant insights through my academic career came while moving, typically running. Running = meditation + blocked time for thinking + ... + workout + blowing off steam + ... theorem proving ;) It's a vastly underestimated super-power.

These robots were told one thing: score. They taught themselves to play soccer – creating their own strategies and their own ways to walk, dribble and block. cbsn.ws/43GDktB

With seemingly endless progress in AI, I decided over the past few months to take a deep dive into the state of robotics 🤖, emerging trends, and research challenges. What do actual field-deployed robotic systems look like now? Will LLMs solve robotics? irom-lab.princeton.edu/wp-content/upl… 🧵

Presenting AirGen, the next-gen aerial robotics simulator and evolution of #AirSim! AirGen adds several new features to synthesize data for aerial intelligence. Currently available in preview and free/unrestricted for academic purposes. Key features include: 🧵👇 (1/5)

Excited to be at #IROS2023 with my team! We’ll be presenting four papers. Details in the thread below!

Congratulations to Dr. Guangyao Shi, who just defended his thesis ECE at UMD Super proud! My favorite part of PhD advising is when I get to learn cool new stuff from the students, and I learned a lot from Guangyao! Next stop: Postdoc USC RESL!

Super proud!

The evolution of our understanding

🌟 Big news! Guangyao, Ishat, Griffin and Prof. Pratap Tokekar's paper is a finalist for the best paper at DARS 2024! 🏆 They've been pushing the boundaries of collaborative robotics, and it's fantastic to see their hard work being recognized. #DARS2024 #Robotics
