For my constrained case of Toy sorting; I found affordances pretty handy to easily generalise -> you could just talk the robot. Hence went down a little rabbit hole of affordances, and here is quick summary: 1. Raw RGB (+ proprioception) Where the inductive bias lives:

Cool project! Trying to setup the sim now, and physics is still... lets say the gravity hasn't yet kicked in:D

With that slight labeling detour, I'm back to ego/exo data. Really pushing things on the Rerun viewer with 8-1080p exo videos + 4-VGA ego videos. Will have more on Friday or next Monday, but I'm trying to consolidate all of the exocentric + egocentric datasets into a single

The ground is shifting for robotics.🤖 And LeRobot made it easy for all to experience this shift firsthand.✨ I wrote my experience here bit.ly/4jV2snq (w/ videos, datasets, learnings!) The gist:  a total time-suck but the fun & learning 💯 worth it.

What’s going on at YC? Cursor for X is the new thing apparently! Discovered by kuba cieslik

Then there is meta-learning. The more diverse data we have, the better the model gets at learning representation. Human equivalent example being how Federer tried a dozen sports (skiing, wrestling, swimming, skate-boarding, basketball, handball, table-tennis, badminton, soccer,

Future is ripped?!😅

Big things come in small and fast packages: announcing the Gemini Robotics On-Device VLA model!🤖 Our new model is optimized for local inference, while showcasing many properties Gemini Robotics excelled at: strong generalization, instruction following, and fast adaptation.

Data vs Priors in Robotics, this was fun! Best part was house-mate of Rich Sutton popping up at 44 mins:D Most agreed with the data will solve robotics part, just framed it differently:D The only counter argument for state space models was energy/climate and likely not being able

Thought about this vague RL joke, while reading a WM paper, and just turned it into a comic strip with AI, ha!

Working on a fork of Aloha Mujoco Sim from awesome Gemini-Robotics team for LeRobot so100/so101. Hopefully soon 🦾
