🚀 Announcing #RSS2026 workshop: Robot World Models 🌐🤖🐨🌐 July 17, 2026 in 🇦🇺!
We're bringing together researchers building the next generation of WM for robots — models robots can act in: controllable, long-horizon & grounded in real dynamics. 🔗 https://t.co/wMRyAcPzlP
🤖 🌍 We have extended the submission to our CoRL (@corl_conf) workshop about Robot World Models for one more week! Use your chance to submit! 🌏🤖
❗️Both 1-page abstracts of published works and 4-page novel works in progress are welcome!
📡 Details: https://t.co/XjeFO3YnBn
Introducing DINOv3 🦕🦕🦕
A SotA-enabling vision foundation model, trained with pure self-supervised learning (SSL) at scale.
High quality dense features, combining unprecedented semantic and geometric scene understanding.
Three reasons why this matters…
Are you working on real-to-sim, sim-to-real, learning world models, or using physics-based simulators? There are two weeks left until the submission deadline for our CoRL workshop, Learning to Simulate Robot Worlds. More details here:

@svlevine was just presenting in the Exploration in AI @ #ICML2025 and promoted that exploration needs to be grounded, and that VLMs are a good source ;-) Check our paper below
👇
Zero-shot imitation from just a single sparse demonstration is hard. Goal-conditioned methods tend to “greedily" move from one state to the next and lose the big picture.
We're presenting an alternative approach on Tuesday at #ICML2025.

When multiple tasks need improvements, fine-tuning a generalist policy becomes tricky. How do we allocate a demonstration budget across a set of tasks of varied difficulty and familiarity?
We are presenting a possible solution at ICML on Wednesday!

✨Introducing SENSEI✨ We bring semantically meaningful exploration to model-based RL using VLMs.
With intrinsic rewards for novel yet useful behaviors, SENSEI showcases strong exploration in MiniHack, Pokémon Red & Robodesk.
Accepted at ICML 2025🎉
Joint work with @cgumbsch

#Context plays a critical role not only in interpreting language but many other cognitive processes. In a new paper, we propose that context-sensitivity is a core feature of human memory that enables flexible planning, #generalization, and decision making https://t.co/LigJbVD4Dc
Were you ever wondering why there are little-to-no diverse offline imitation learning algorithms 🤔? Then we've got something 4 you! Our paper, "Offline Diversity Maximization under Imitation Constraints" is being presented today at RLC2024 🎇! 🧵

🔄Please share widely & stay tuned for more programming announcements!
Tired of causally confused agents when learning from offline datasets?
We propose 🚣🏼♀️CAIAC🚣🏼♀️, a method for counterfactual data augmentation to improve the robustness of offline learning agents against extreme distributional shifts at test time. 🧵
🚨Introducing GenRL!
An embodied AI agent that learns multimodal foundation world models 🌍
By connecting the multimodal knowledge of foundation models with the embodied knowledge of world models for RL, GenRL enables turning vision and language prompts into actions!

THICK PlaNet 🪐: We can also plan directly with our model. In THICK PlaNet we first plan on the high level with MCTS and then we search for low-level actions to follow this plan. This is useful for long-horizon or hierarchical tasks and sparse rewards.
