To the unsung heroes of the @USDS@NIST & @NSF who have been terminated or laid off - if you want to work on the challenges facing the field of AI Robotics and have experience in #AI / #ML / #Quantum or #Robotics, do connect with me: mirza(at)https://t.co/2aR4oH91pe
2) Humanoid robots consume significant power for actuators (think the muscles of a robot), what's needed then? High-torque electric actuators. Tactile sensors with sub-millimeter precision. Modular joints for dynamic balance.
Sound challenging? Sure is.
1) lack the precision needed for robotic tasks like real-time environmental perception and object manipulation. Domain-specific AI models are required.
Data & Controls Engineers must together build tools to identify anomalies in sensor data, joint movements, task performance
4) A strong America requires (to borrow from Dan Goldin, NASA's 9th Chief), 'courageous collaboration, and a widespread commitment to [solving] hard problems' not a wholesale 'deleting' of the good men and women who have served this nation's interests and principles.
3) ... that if you have an open role right now, make sure to consider these unsung heroes: now is the time we pay our dues and uplift those who have been let down.
Remember: service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.
2) This is a reminder to those federal workers of the Latin saying 'ad astra per aspera,' to the stars through hardships.
This is also an open call, to my peers, colleagues, and cohorts in the enterprise and startup space across the United States
1) My heart goes out to all the federal workers right now - you inherently understand the principle of service before self. A lifetime ago, I worked with several U.S. agencies and know firsthand, the good, hardworking, smart, and dedicated men and women who serve the government
Happy to share that I'll be speaking at Use-Case: The Impact of Quantum Computing in AI! Make sure to attend it on February 10. https://t.co/hVmqrVKGEh

Wow, someone just released a notebook to train a reasoning LLM with the new RL algorithm from DeepSeek, GRPO.
In <2 hours, you can transform a very small model, Qwen 0.5 (500 million parameters) into a tiny math reasoning machine.
Google just dropped Gemini 2.0 for everyone
lets test it out with coder mode
prompt: write a script for 100 bouncing bright yellow balls within a sphere, make sure to handle collision detection properly. make the sphere slowly rotate. make sure balls stays within the sphere. implement it in p5.js
We trained a robot dog to balance and walk on top of a yoga ball purely in simulation, and then transfer zero-shot to the real world. No fine-tuning. Just works.
I’m excited to announce DrEureka, an LLM agent that writes code to train robot skills in simulation, and writes more code to bridge the difficult simulation-reality gap. It fully automates the pipeline from new skill learning to real-world deployment.
The Yoga ball task is particularly hard because it is not possible to accurately simulate the bouncy ball surface. Yet DrEureka has no trouble searching over a vast space of sim-to-real configurations, and enables the dog to steer the ball on various terrains, even walking sideways!
Traditionally, the sim-to-real transfer is achieved by domain randomization, a tedious process that requires expert human roboticists to stare at every parameter and adjust by hand. Frontier LLMs like GPT-4 have tons of built-in physical intuition for friction, damping, stiffness, gravity, etc. We are (mildly) surprised to find that DrEureka can tune these parameters competently and explain its reasoning well.
DrEureka builds on our prior work Eureka, the algorithm that teaches a 5-finger robot hand to do pen spinning. It takes one step further on our quest to automate the entire robot learning pipeline by an AI agent system. One model that outputs strings will supervise another model that outputs torque control.
We open-source everything! Welcome you all to check out the paper, more videos, and try the codebase today: https://t.co/RwiBT3z78H
