Solving contact-rich manipulation tasks even under disco light🪩?
Incorporate multiple sensors using MSDP and obtain a robust policy in under 55 min!
Excited to share our work accepted at RA-L: Self-Supervised Multisensory Pretraining for Contact-Rich Robot Reinforcement Learning
Did you know Paperedge (.ai) organically reached early adopters from 18 different countries and almost 50 different affiliations?
👉 Today we're releasing a new batch of *50 early access slots* via the link in 1st comment below 👈
On a quest to make research less overwhelming.
@paperedgeapp Things we might add in the future:
- Frequently asked LLM queries by other users
- Collaborative LLM chatting with other users
- "View as a Blogpost" to turn the list of papers into a full blogpost on the fly — with text, tables and images drawn from the respective papers
One feature I love about @paperedgeapp is "public collections":
💡 I created a public collection on "Sim-to-Real for Robotics" with 23 seed papers [see link in comment below].
🌐 Anyone can access it, add new papers and chat with the papers in context.
@paperedgeapp For some reason the community hasn't done a great job in finding ways to keep well-organized and collaborative lists of papers per topic.
I think we can do better than static survey papers and awesome-* github repos.
We've quietly rebuilt a Zotero-like tool over the past 6 months (@paperedgeapp):
- Free, forever
- AI chat with your entire library in context.
- Collaborative by design
Today we're opening 100 early adopter slots: first-come-first-serve via the link below🙂

I’ve been frustrated for years by how slow, biased, and unpredictable peer review can be.
So I stopped complaining and built something different.
Reviewer 3 is your own panel of expert reviewers. They read your paper, highlight strengths and weaknesses, and now link every comment directly to your manuscript.
It started as a side project. Now it’s handled 9,000+ papers, and 88% of researchers say it’s as good or better than human review.
Here’s a sample review if you’d like to see what AI peer review looks like: https://t.co/q4rQPEm6v9
If you are at #ICLR2024 and are interested in Sim2Real for RL, reach out to @GabrieleTiboni1 to talk about our work DORAEMON that formulates the appropriate optimization problem over randomizing dynamics parameters to ensure policies become robust yet adaptive in the real world.
Learning Agile Soccer Skills for a Bipedal Robot with Deep Reinforcement Learning
investigated the application of Deep Reinforcement Learning (Deep RL) for low-cost, miniature humanoid hardware in a dynamic environment, showing the method can synthesize sophisticated and safe movement skills making up complex behavioral strategies in a simplified one-versus-one (1v1) soccer game

Excited to share our ICRA’23 @ieee_ras_icra work by @Adithya_Murali_
We scale up neural collision detection for object rearrangement with procedurally generated synthetic data.

🏗️ Policy Adaptation from Foundation Model Feedback #CVPR2023
https://t.co/l1vSFtLdYq
Instead of using foundation model as a pre-trained encoder (generator), we use it as a Teacher (discriminator) to tell where our policy did wrong and helps it adapts to new envs and tasks.
Last 4 years of @ai_habitat have been a steady march against moving goalposts:
— Model-free RL will never scale: Yes, it does with a fast sim, DD-PPO https://t.co/HStpkS9enq and VER https://t.co/N5psv0wIxv
— Performance in sim will never generalize to robots: Yes, it does and it is even good for model selection: https://t.co/qpAElJUFJP
— Modeling accurate physics is essential for sim2real: No, it isn’t for navigation: https://t.co/4mbyAs3GO0
— Navigation is a special case, sim2real won’t generalize to contact rich tasks: It does, see our work on mobile manipulation or the line of work on rapid motor adaptation.
We introduce a system for fine-grained robotic manipulation! 🤖
What’s new?
* We can control cheap robots to do surprisingly dexterous tasks
* New technique that allows robots to learn fine motor skills
