I've started building something new: Koru Voice Quests (https://t.co/Ecg8zs2Wgk )
Kids have fun conversations with Koru, a curious little alien who shows up when a question strikes, co-creates stories that spark imagination, and does plenty more.
Touch is important for dexterous manipulation, but hard to use in sim-to-real RL.
Binary contact transfers well, but loses rich contact information; raw tactile readings preserve information, but create a large sim-to-real gap.

SV is 3 mos ahead on topics SV is singularly obsessed with.
Lasertec is a Japanese company with fewer than 1,200 employees. TSMC, Intel, and Samsung depend on it to verify every EUV mask before a chip is printed. One defect on the mask and all chips printed from it fail. Lasertec holds 100% of the market. The inspection requires 13.5 nanometer light, the same wavelength that prints the chip. No other company on Earth has built a tool that can do it. KLA poured an estimated $500 million into one, cut 600 jobs, and abandoned it. Lasertec had been at it for a decade before KLA even started. Intel has given Lasertec its Distinguished Supplier Award six years in a row. ASML builds EUV scanners that cost up to $380 million each. None of them print a chip without a mask Lasertec has inspected.
Been using and developing with Robosuite — I wonder if it can be ported to a better rendering engine for MuJoCo. If so, I don't see a need for running Isaac Sim.
Fast Foundation Stereo + SAM2 basically = zero shot Foundation Pose😂
No CAD model, no object image, just click the target. Run directly on my 3070 at 13fps, with a 30$ stereo camera (calibrated in 10min)
