Super excited to receive the NSF CAREER award. The work will focus on leveraging physical interactions to learn safe and efficient control policies towards robotic caregiving for people with mobility limitations. (1/2)

In the Boston area for this summer! Looking forward to meeting and learning more from fellow roboticists 🤖around :) Also looking for suggestions on fun things to do around here!

We are thrilled to announce the release of RCareWorld V1.0, our simulation platform for robotic caregiving and human-robot interaction research. Website: emprise.cs.cornell.edu/rcareworld/ Please try it and give us feedback. We have a discussion forum with weekly office hours via zoom.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission: 'India🇮🇳, I reached my destination and you too!' : Chandrayaan-3 Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon 🌖!. Congratulations, India🇮🇳! #Chandrayaan_3 #Ch3

Have had multiple interactions with people using Gen3 looking for torque control support via ROS and being able to do compliant control 🫠 Happy to open-source the hardware interface 🦾 that makes this possible, along with our implementation of compliant controllers!

Congrats Rajat Kumar Jenamani, Ziang Liu and the team on getting nominated for best paper award at #HRI2024 for their work on inside-mouth bite transfer for people with severe mobility limitations. People with severe mobility conditions cannot bend their neck to take a bite from a

Robot-assisted feeding can help millions with mobility impairments. However, feeding in-the-wild meals is challenging for current systems. We tackle this with FLAIR: Feeding via Long-horizon AcquIsition of Realistic dishes!💫 🌐 emprise.cs.cornell.edu/FLAIR 🎙️Robotics: Science and Systems‘24 🧵1/7

I am hiring multiple PhD students this year to launch the Princeton Robot Planning and Learning lab: tomsilver.github.io/hiring Thanks for helping me spread the word!

Yay! Excited to announce Alle (@sayheyAlle) won Best App and Best App for Fun for #GooglePlayBestOf this year! Kudos to our awesome team for making this happen. blog.google/intl/en-in/pro…

Also in Atlanta for #ICRA2025 to help out with #PhyRC Challenge 🤖 Swing by the exhibit hall to watch caregiving robots in action! Looking forward to catching up, meeting new folks, and talking all things robotics.

The Real-robot competition phase of #PhyRC is finally happening! Come check out caregiving robots in action at Booth #C7 at #ICRA2025. Good luck to the teams from Brazil, Canada, and the UK!

We would love to train our robots with human videos. But humans move very differently from robots! How do we bridge this divide? Check out our work at #ICRA2025 “One-Shot Imitation under Mismatched Execution” on specifying tasks to robots via a prompt human video 🧵

🚀 Wrapping up an incredible journey at the PhyRC Challenge (emprise.cs.cornell.edu/rcareworld/cha…) at #ICRA2025! Over the past few months, teams from around the world have been tackling challenging tasks in assistive robotics — dressing and bed-bathing. The journey began in RCareWorld

Most assistive robots live in labs. We want to change that. FEAST enables care recipients to personalize mealtime assistance in-the-wild, with minimal researcher intervention across diverse in-home scenarios. 🏆 Outstanding Paper & Systems Paper Finalist Robotics: Science and Systems 🧵1/8

During a meal, food may cool down resulting in a change in its physical properties, even though visually it may look the same! How can robots reliably pick up food when it looks the same but feels different — such as steak 🥩getting firmer as it cools? 🍴 Check out

Introducing CLAMP: : a device, dataset, and model that bring large-scale, in-the-wild multimodal haptics to real robots. Haptics / Tactile data is more than just force or surface texture, and capturing this multimodal haptic information can be useful for robot manipulation.
