RIP 😢 Yifan tragically took her own life shortly after leaving ETH, and, like many others on my timeline, I've been hearing some unsettling rumors her experiencing mistreatment while at ETH. I hope ETH can look into this and provide justice for Yifan and all parties involved.

Only when you stop optimizing for others and start creating for yourself only then will your work have a soul. It's a real risk one must take in order to have a chance at producing creative outputs where there is depth and meaning.

Announcing torch2jax! Run PyTorch code natively in JAX. 🤝 Mix-and-match PyTorch and JAX code with seamless, end-to-end autodiff, use JAX classics like jit, grad, and vmap on PyTorch code, and run PyTorch models on TPUs.

Young scientists regularly ask me for career advice. Academia or industry? Big company or startup? US or Europe?  Good scientists in AI disciplines are fortunate to have many choices. But choosing can be stressful. I always give the same advice. 1/10

So I hear that behavior cloning is all the rage now. What if we could do better, but with the same data? :) In CCIL, we show that imitation via BC is improved by synthesizing corrective labels to account for compounding error, without interactive oracles. Lets you do 👇! 🧵(1/9)

We got a robot to clean up homes that were never seen in its training data! Our new model, π-0.5, aims to tackle open-world generalization. We took our robot into homes that were not in the training data and asked it to clean kitchens and bedrooms. More below⤵️

Impressive, congrats!

Diffusion policies have demonstrated impressive performance in robot control, yet are difficult to improve online when 0-shot performance isn’t enough. To address this challenge, we introduce DSRL: Diffusion Steering via Reinforcement Learning. (1/n) diffusion-steering.github.io

Giving a talk about human roles in robot learning, at #RSS2025 human in the loop for robot learning workshop at 3:30 - 4pm today @ OHE 100D. Also on panel discussion happening in half an hour at the whole body control and bi manual workshop (OHE 136). Pretty excited!
