Thanks Robotics@GT for a great crowd and a great visit!

This is really cool. I highly recommend checking it out if you're curious about model-based control but have never taken the plunge because it's too difficult to get started. You can get cool examples running in minutes!

I’m excited to finally show off fast and robust differentiable collision detection between pairs of convex primitives! paper: arxiv.org/abs/2207.00669 code: github.com/kevin-tracy/Di…

. Zac Manchester is presenting the Exploratory project PROMETHEUS - PocketQube Framework Designed for Research and Educational Access to Space developed in collaboration with Alexandre Silva at Universidade Minho and Rodrigo Ventura Instituto Superior Técnico #CMUPT2023

I'm super happy to share that our work on differentiable physics simulation of NeRF-represented objects was published in RA-L! We augment object-centric NeRFs with dynamical properties (e.g. friction properties). paper: ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10070… video: youtu.be/Md0PM-wv_Xg

A team of CMU Robotics Institute researchers have designed a system that makes an off-the-shelf quadruped robot nimble enough to walk a narrow balance beam — a feat that is likely the first of its kind. bit.ly/41aikJH

Our balance-beam-walking quadruped was featured in Popular Science and IEEE Spectrum. Awesome work by Chi Yen Lee, @ShuoYangRobot, and Ben Boksor: popsci.com/technology/rob… spectrum.ieee.org/quadrupedal-ro… youtu.be/gmEQsAgd5gk

Thanks to the team at Nasa NIAC for inviting us to Washington DC headquarters for our Phase 2 midterm review. We have lots of exciting research to share soon on Kilometer-Scale Space Structures from a Single Launch: tinyurl.com/e5t5c5ww #Nasa #NasaNiac #SpaceStructures #CMU

Our #ICCV2023 paper reconstructs physically plausible 4D scenes from monocular videos: gengshan-y.github.io/ppr/ Drop by our poster at Foyer Sud - 163 to chat!

Applying for RISS 2024 or graduate school in the Fall? RoboLaunch will host a series of talks from October 9th to 20th discussing opportunities to get involved. We will also host a Q&A at the end of every session! 🕔 When? 4 PM EDT! 📍Where? YouTube and Zoom Webinars!

We are hosting a few "How to Apply to Grad School" webinars this week. This is a chance to hear from faculty and students in the Robotics Institute on what life in grad school is actually like, as well as get some tips on crafting a strong application! ri.cmu.edu/why-what-and-h…

My last year of research with Zac Manchester on Kilometer-Scale Deployable Space Structures was presented at the 2023 NIAC Symposium. youtu.be/FTx7qK4rm3g?si… via YouTube

Heading to Singapore for @IEEECDC2023!

Sam presenting TinyMPC at ICRA 2024 in Yokohama. Read the paper and give it a try: tinympc.org

The lab has 4 papers at ICRA this year IEEE ICRA: 1) TinyMPC: Model-Predictive Control on Microcontrollers 2) SLoMo: Legged Robot Motion Imitation from Casual Videos 3) VINSat: Visual-Inertial Navigation for Satellites 4) ReLU-QP: A GPU-Accelerated QP solver for MPC

Thanks to all of the students in the Spacecraft-Design-Build-Fly class! Video: youtube.com/watch?v=MWvvPE… Build a real cube satellite with Zac Manchester Zac Manchester and Brandon Lucia Brandon Lucia

Great talk by Ibrahima Sow at #iSpaRo in Luxembourg on our autonomous soft capture work for rendezvous with tumbling satellites or debris: arxiv.org/abs/2405.00867
