Our lab constructed a hat that celebrates Jacky’s accomplishments. Adornments include DALL-E Mini generations based on his paper titles, Isaac(Newton at the)Gym, a shelf, his high-precision but slightly incorrect age, a fish, and PILLARs.

How do you adapt dynamics models to new scenarios? Peter Mitrano, in collab. with Alex LaGrassa and Oliver Krömer, shows that the key is to FOCUS on where source and target dynamics are similar. This does better than learning on all the data! sites.google.com/view/focused-a… #ICRA2023

🤖🦾 Recent research shows that pretrained vision representations (PVRs) can be useful for robot manipulation tasks. Do these PVRs scale to complex manipulations? In our #ICLR paper we explore this and uncover some fascinating findings ICLR 2026 arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2304.06600

Hello all, I'm very excited to present my work on "Linear Delta Arrays for Compliant Dexterous Distributed Manipulation" that I worked on during my Masters in Robotics at CMU Robotics Institute tomorrow at IEEE ICRA Pod 44 at 9 - 10:40 AM British Summer Time!

Super happy to share Code as Policies received the Outstanding Paper Award in Robot Learning #ICRA2023 IEEE ICRA !! Big thank yous to my collaborators Wenlong Huang Fei Xia Peng Xu Karol Hausman Brian Ichter Pete Florence @andyzengtweets y'all rock 🎉🎉

Have you wondered how robotics & AI could be used in agriculture 🌽🤖? Last week, we deployed our robot in Iowa to insert micro-sensors into stalks to monitor crop health. Stay-tuned for the highlight video of our robot in action! CMU Robotics Institute AIIRA - AI Institute for Resilient Agriculture farm-ng CMU School of Computer Science

DELTAHANDS is a synergistic dexterous hand framework that uses soft Delta robots. Delta hands are low-cost, easy to build & control, and highly configurable for dexterous manipulation. Check out our paper (arxiv.org/abs/2310.05266) or site (sites.google.com/view/deltahand…) for more info!

This is happening now at poster #2!

How can we use AI & robotics for sustainable agriculture? 🤖🌽 We present Towards Autonomous Crop Monitoring - inserting sensors in corn stalks to monitor plant nutrient over the growth cycle. See paper, additional documentation at kantor-lab.github.io/cornbot 🧵👇 (1/7)

Congratulations to DR. Mohit Sharma (Mohit Sharma) on successfully completing your Ph.D. thesis on Representation Reuse for Learning Robust Robot Manipulations! It has been such a pleasure to be your advisor of the last years. CMU Robotics Institute

I had a wonderful time visiting Robotics@GT to present my work on "Planning What to Learn". Thank you Matthew Gombolay for inviting. CORE Robotics Lab is doing fantastic inter-disciplinary work on robot skill learning, multi-agent RL and HRI. Slides @ tinyurl.com/ykphcwt9

We are at @ICRA2024! We will present our paper “Estimating Material Properties of Interacting Objects Using Sum-GP-UCB” at Conference Center Room-313 starting 16:30

🏆 Congrats to the award winners at the Dexterous Manipulation Workshop at #RSS2024! 📜 Best Paper: Zilin Si, Kevin Zhang, Zeynep Temel, Oliver Kroemer, CMU Intelligent Autonomous Manipulation Lab 🎙️ Best Presentation: Kenny Shaw, Deepak Pathak #RSS2024, #DexterousManipulation

Big congratulations to Mark for getting the RAL paper accepted! Check out the website and video to discover how to autonomously insert sensors into corn stalks and monitor nutrient levels throughout the growing season.

🤖We are introducing Grounded Task Axes (GTA) — a zero-shot skill transfer framework that enables robots to perform multi-step manipulation tasks on novel objects by generalizing modular controllers grounded through visual foundation models. ✅ No training, no demo, no
