Ojo con la Vinotinto!! 🇻🇪

Thrilled to announce the first annual Reinforcement Learning Conference RL_Conference, which will be held at UMass Amherst August 9-12! RLC is the first strongly peer-reviewed RL venue with proceedings, and our call for papers is now available: rl-conference.cc.

David Attenborough is now narrating my life Here's a GPT-4-vision + ElevenLabs python script so you can star in your own Planet Earth:

I hope Dwarkesh Patel is paying good bucks to whoever ended up being his YouTube shorts editor and decided to put that Ilya Sutskever clip about next token prediction. That interview is months old yet everyone in my feed is now talking about it.

Our team at FAIR is hiring postdocs. Come solve dexterous manipulation with us!

My team is hiring in multimodal representation learning. We are working on tactile representations to equip robots with a physical understanding of the world. Bored of scraping disembodied internet data and looking for a new challenge? Apply here: metacareers.com/jobs/955103803…

Come work with us at the forefront of robotics dexterity!

Does anyone know if non-US residents can buy US health insurance and get treated in the US?

Lovely spring morning here in Montreal!

i.e., use Theseus ftw :) github.com/facebookresear…

Started reading Berserk manga recently. It's like Opeth's music turned into visual art. Trascendental beauty in the midst of horror. Fantastic.

To enable AI to physically interact with the world we are releasing research advances from our team AI at Meta & collaborators ai.meta.com/blog/fair-robo… More on 🎯Sparsh, ☝️Digit 360, 🦾Meta Digit Plexus, and 🤝partnerships w/ GelSight, Inc. & Wonik Robotics 🧵⬇ 1/

I've never seen more vocal support for Trump than in my high school class' whatsapp group

Our new Science Robotics paper (in the cover!) describes how to do object shape & pose estimation during inhand manipulation with neural representations. Important step towards fully autonomous dexterity. Work led by Sudharshan Suresh who is an amazing researcher, make sure to follow.

Bunch of people having zoom meetings in Starbucks. Is that a thing? Seems weird to me.

Teleop is all the rage for scaling, but can we even do dexterous tasks like tool-use with today’s systems? We built DexGen foundation controller, it takes coarse motion prompts to refine them to fine, safe actions. DexGen+teleop now enables tasks like screwdriver use & many more

We consider teleoperation as a prompting problem, where the human action serves as a prompt to our foundation model, Dexterity Gen. Our model then generates the optimal action that ensures both stability and preservation of the human intent. Checkout our paper for more details.

Thrilled to share our recent advances in human teleoperation for dexterous manipulation, a level-up in robotic dexterity to previously unseen capabilities like using a syringe. This was work led by the amazing Zhao-Heng Yin. Check out his thread for more details.
