@AjdDavison Let me know if you fancy a demo ride. Would be great to meet up again and chat about all things robot.

[Antony Waldock 🤖 @awaldock]

Wow visualise the Wayve Scene 101 dataset in Fiftyone with corresponding point clouds @DataScienceHarp https://t.co/uEyS20kgWH

@benvdv @AjdDavison @zipengfu @Dyson The end of this BBC programme gives a sneak peek https://t.co/M8BTQIEsKn

[Antony Waldock 🤖 @awaldock]

@Dyson is once again sponsoring @ieee_ras_icra. Pop along to the Dyson stand to learn more about the recently launched Dyson 360 Vis Nav and the research into future household robotics.

[Antony Waldock 🤖 @awaldock]

@AjdDavison Well done @AjdDavison. Well deserved. Let’s celebrate at ICRA 2023 in a few weeks time.

@catherineseale @Vaarst @Vaarst this is a great idea to allow your customers to bring their own models 🎉. Do they get access to the imagery to allow them to train them?

[Rodney Brooks @rodneyabrooks]

Posted my fifth annual review of my dated predictions from Jan 1, 2018, about self driving cars, AI/ML & Robotics, and human spaceflight. They seemed pessimistic back then, but they are standing the test of time. BONUS five new curmudgeonly predictions. https://t.co/YbBDkKby2Q

Excited to announce DayDreamer, an application of learned world models to robot learning without simulators!

DayDreamer enables a robot dog to learn to walk in one hour without resets, simulators, or demonstrations, as well as visual pick and place and navigation tasks

@Sunxiaoliang52 Unfortunately the talk was not recorded but you can find out how Dyson’s robots navigate in this video https://t.co/KiL9c1Wtmv and more about home robotics https://t.co/818r8VRIvr

[Antony Waldock 🤖 @awaldock]

Thanks for listening to me talk about how Dyson’s current robots navigate and a sneak peek into the future of household robotics.

[Antony Waldock 🤖 @awaldock]

Amazing to see so many robots in one place @ieee_ras_icra

[Dyson @Dyson]

Today, at @ieee_ras_icra, Dyson gives a glimpse into the future of household robots for the first time.

From manipulation and robot learning, to visual perception and compliant control…

[Rishi Sunak @RishiSunak]

Some great news for UK jobs - @dyson are recruiting 250 new robotics engineers to work at their new robotics research centre.

This will be the UK’s largest robotics research centre, with 700 more engineering jobs over the next five years.

@fdellaert thanks for the great talk at ICRA2022. Do you have a link to the GT-Dynamics paper where you integrate leg links and contact points with IMU?

Coarse-to-fine Q-attention has been selected for an oral at #CVPR2022!🙀
The first *general* 6DoF RL-based manipulation algorithm that can train in the real world in minutes (not days/months). High-res images, and no shaped rewards!

@DaveRanner @brulobeer Thanks @DaveRanner. Ordered my discovery crate from @brulobeer. Enjoying following your journey into non alcoholic craft beer.

[Antony Waldock 🤖 @awaldock]

@DaveRanner I ordered a case directly recently with free local bike delivery. Great stuff.
