🚀 Introducing N2M!

In mobile manipulation, the performance of a manipulation policy is very sensitive to the robot’s initial pose. N2M guides the robot to a suitable pose for executing the manipulation policy.

N2M comes with 5 key features - Check them out in the posts below!

@hkz222 Great job, Kaizhe! I saw your work on ARTS last weekend, haha.

@angelaschoellig @svlevine @learnsyslab Many thanks to all the organizers and speakers. I just finished watching the recorded version of this workshop and learned a lot. 😍

Very practical work🥳🥳 Traditional remote controllers are not intuitive and hard to make robots carry out human-like movements. VR-based demonstrations will undoubtedly help collect mobile manipulation data in a more comfortable and easier way.

🥽 Want to use your new Apple Vision Pro to control your robot? Want to record how you navigate / manipulate the world to train a policy?

I developed an app for VisionOS that can stream your head / wrist / finger movements over WiFi, which you can subscribe on any machines using a simple python library. 🧵[1/6]
