@AjdDavison what about climbing a ladder?

@zhengyiluo "Why we sleep" is a good book, if you haven't read it yet :)

@ChongZitaZhang Likely they meant robust

@chris_j_paxton Try to lift 25kg with that! And quickly ;) Buy I understand what you mean and agree there are still a few pieces missing

@davide_tateo @TUeindhoven Was great having you with us. @davide_tateo!

if we would expand the acronym AI as Artificial Intuition, it would be way more accurate and descriptive of what the technology is. People would likely also stop to yell at each other, debating if it is intelligent or not :)

Cleaning up my office, before the moving. This is from 1996. We are still busy with the same problem after 30 years. And apparently trying with the same approach. Anyway, that is why it is important to read the "old" literature. Do not reinvent the wheel :)

Parallel physics simulation is a key component to further develop robot autonomy in dynamic environments. Still ample space for improving the accuracy in contact forces and velocities. Exciting times.

Hillbot and UCSD introduce ManiSkill-HAB, a GPU-accelerated benchmark for in-home object rearrangement, 3x faster than prior methods.

Includes RL/IL baselines, automated event annotations, and scalable dataset creation for diverse AI training scenarios.

@kwangmoo_yi The issue is that people are becoming 'religious'. Meaning, by not defining and agreeing on the meaning of terms such as "generative AI" and "general artificial intelligence," you can end up talking about different things using the same words. With strong emotions involved.

This @ieeetro Special Collection on Impact-Aware Robotics was a great fun to organize! There is still a lot of things to do to get robots at the level of dexterity of human beings but, hey, we are getting there!

[IEEE Transactions on Robotics (T-RO) @IeeeTro]

T-RO Special Collection #ImpactAwareRobotics is live! A special thank you to Abderrahmane Kheddar, @YanGuRobotics, @MichaelAPosa, @AleSaccon, and handling editor Paolo Robuffo Giordano for their tireless commitment.

There was also a great presentation by the @serpentine_ai, showcasing some of interesting AI projects TU/e students are busy with!

Last week I have I have attended the talk of @FabAroundEU, CEO of @AxeleraAI, at the @TUeindhoven , organized by the student association Kickoff EHV. Honest and inspiring. One remark that I liked: Everybody has great ideas, the challenge it is to make them happen! #AI #Robotics

When people say locomotion is solved, they mean this is possible. Truly remarkable and beyond natural (animals have no wheels)

@UgHLyDuCkLiN and yes, the pic is not from today. This morning was raining and my phone was in a plastic bag :)

Feed your fears with hope.

beautiful sentence by @UgHLyDuCkLiN, heard during a 60m running session using the NRC app today. Love it.
