Happy to share our new work on Navigation World Models! 🔥🔥 Navigation is a fundamental skill of agents with visual-motor capabilities. We train a single World Model across multiple environments and diverse agent data. w/ Gaoyue Zhou, Danny Tran, trevordarrell and Yann LeCun.

Can we build a generalist robotic policy that doesn’t just memorize training data and regurgitate it during test time, but instead remembers past actions as memory and conditions its decisions on them?🤖💡 Introducing SAM2Act—a multi-view robotic transformer-based policy that

🚀Exciting News! Join us at the inaugural #CVPR2025 Workshop on 3D Vision Language Models (VLMs) for Robotics Manipulation on June 11, 2025, in Nashville, TN! 🦾 robo-3dvlms.github.io 1/N #CVPR2025 CVPR News

Today's pollen count is 14,801. This shatters the previous record of 9,369 set in 2012. I hope you're feeling okay. Showers and storms Sunday - Monday will bring some relief.

Thanks Steven Palma! We will update the README to highlight the 3 versions of LeKiwi: - cables only (no battery) - remote control with RaspberryPi (inference done on laptop) - on-board compute with Jetson Nano github.com/SIGRobotics-UI…

Kris Cruz Pollen is out of control in Dallas! Just came back from a week there and was pretty miserable the whole time. Try the Pataday eye drops and some zyzal if you haven’t yet. Nazacort spray helps too.

Police drones discover would-be intruder stuck inside chimney

I sent a message to my PhD students and postdocs at Princeton University a couple of weeks ago regarding freezes/cuts to federal research funding (this was before the freeze on federal funding to Princeton). I am sharing it here in case others find it helpful in having similar

In my past research experience, finding or developing an appropriate simulation environment, dataset, and benchmark has always been a challenge. Missing features, limited support, or unexpected bugs often occupied my days and nights. Moreover, current simulation platforms are

Congrats to our students Shivvrat Arya and Ninad for successfully defending their theses! 🎉🎉 Wishing them good luck for their future endeavors. UT Dallas #Irvl #PhD

🤖 Diving into Robot Foundation Models! 🧠 Starting a small series of Demystifying Robotic Foundational models starting with πο (Pi0) from Physical Intelligence. Understanding Pi0 gives great context for later models like Gemini Robotics & GR00T N1. The core idea behind many robot

📢Excited to announce our #RSS2025 workshop: Mobile Manipulation: Emerging Opportunities & Contemporary Challenges in LA! 🤖🦿🚗 We’re bringing together leading voices from academia & industry to explore the frontier of MoMA—where mobility meets dexterity for real-world robot

Folding towel teleop works super well with bimanual LeRobot SO100 setup! Video at 4x speed Next step: training my very own autonomous folder

Honk if you ❤️ American drones! The Skydio Dock for X10 Roadshow is bringing autonomous Drone as First Responder capabilities to public safety agencies nationwide. After debuting at #AxonWeek25 in PHX, we’re eastbound to ATL. 🇺🇸 📍 Where should we go next?

Finished writing the reports for 6 #IROS2025 submissions. Thanks to the reviewers who accepted my invitations! ICRA and IROS have relatively long review cycles and lack a rebuttal stage — a point worth considering for the robotics community IEEE RAS

Imitation learning has a data scarcity problem. Introducing EgoDex from Apple, the largest and most diverse dataset of dexterous human manipulation to date — 829 hours of egocentric video + paired 3D hand poses across 194 tasks. Now on arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2505.11709 (1/4)

#CoRL2025 reviewers and authors beware: lower is better!

i’m happy to present chessbot. a robot that can move your chess piece from place to place. we built this in under 24 hours at the LeRobot hackathon. here’s a quick demo!
