We are launching an online seminar series! A new seminar once per month on the 4th Tuesday of the month at 9am EST. Our first speaker will be Ben Biggs from Imperial EEE on May 23rd, presenting the work he recently published at #FCCM2023. Join us! utoronto.zoom.us/j/82613229697

What is the role of data in robotics? What would a robotics foundation model look like? 🤖 If you're interested in these questions, join us tomorrow for the #ICRA23 "Pre-training for Robotics" workshop! 🚀 More information on the workshop website: tinyurl.com/3cyr3vvk

Day1 at #ICRA2023 has been full of great presentations, catching up with many friends, colleagues and mentors in person (after years), and seeing the latest advancements in robotics (literally) in action.

Quite a dramatic opening ceremony today, of an (apparently very British) #ICRA2023. No robot musicians this time I am afraid.

What's up at #ICRA2023 tonight?

Enjoyed spending the day at the BristolRoboticsLab yesterday. Great to touch base with everyone at UK-RAS Network network. Thanks for organising this, and looking forward to the next event!

Noah Smith 🐇 No. The research arm of Bell Labs was never about moonshots. It was about hiring the best scientists into small departments (typically 5 to 15 people) and giving them resources and a *lot* of freedom to work on what *they* deemed most promising. That's how you get breakthroughs.

Today’s #HorizonEurope announcement is fantastic news for the future of UK and EU science. The deal puts us back at the heart of the world’s largest transnational research partnership and enables us to continue our vital European collaborations at scale. ow.ly/w6nx50PIFtW

Thrilled that our paper with Stylianos I. Venieris Steve Laskaridis and nic lane introducing “Fluid Batching” was selected as a Best Paper Award Finalist at IEEE/ACM ICCAD 2023. Congratulations to the winners (Yu and De Micheli). If you are around on Wednesday, feel free to drop by our poster!

After 3+ years, today is the day that my book “The Worlds I See” gets to see the world itself. It is a science memoir of the intertwining histories of me becoming an #AI scientist, and the making of the modern AI itself. All versions are now on Amazon a.co/d/fYKf74L 1/

It’s a great honour to participate in the Industrial Advisory Board of The University of Edinburgh’s School of Informatics and I really enjoyed the fruitful discussions today. Looking forward to working with everyone on building stronger, mutually beneficial ties between academia and industry.

Travelling to Oxford this morning to attend the 2-day 5th UK Robot Manipulation meet up (#UKRobotManipWS). Looking forward to see colleagues and friends and kick start the year with motivating talks and discussions!

We are THRILLED to have been ranked 2nd in the world and 1st in the UK and Europe in this year's QS QS World University Rankings! 🎊🥳 #QSWUR Thank you to everyone in #OurImperial community for making this result possible! 💙

Are you an author and/or a RAS member? We want to hear from you! RAS is launching a comprehensive survey led by President Aude Billard. Share your thoughts here: forms.gle/rqrLC9ipqB8bou… #ieee #ras #robotics #automation

Really excited to spend the day at the BMVA Symposium on Robotics Foundation and World Models. Focusing on such an emerging and fast-paced field provokes energising discussions on equally interesting but fundamentally different possible ways forward for the community.

Spent the evening at the Dover House, where a wonderful reception was hosted bringing together people from industry, academia and government to discuss AI policy for public good.
