@adcock_brett Nice, great work to everyone on the team!

[Sudharshan Suresh @Suddhus]

Our team also put together a great blogpost: https://t.co/MaxojplNQ1. We talk about supervised learning for 2D keypoints, foundation models for object masks, render-and-compare for object pose, and SuperTracker—our real-time smoother that combines vision, kinematics, and force.

If you want to work on the most advanced humanoid robot on the planet and Make Robots Real we have several positions open, including an ML Research Scientist for Atlas perception:

After a brief "stealth mode" we are unveiling our latest iteration of Atlas: an **AI POWERED** fully electric robot with 360 joints and advanced perception sensing capabilities. I'm really excited for the superhuman behaviors we can develop with the extra range of motion.

We promise this is not a person in a bodysuit. https://t.co/S9FgfpqvrW

Check out the associated blog post (https://t.co/Jtr8GYhaBd) for a supercut of the autonomous heavy object manipulation work we have done last year on the previous robot, HD!

The best thing about working on Atlas is reading the comments under each video

[Boston Dynamics @BostonDynamics]

Can't trip Atlas up! Our humanoid robot gets ready for real work combining strength, perception, and mobility.

[Jan Czarnowski @czarnowskij]

@Chad_R_Stewart @TechIsHiring sure, go ahead!

[Jan Czarnowski @czarnowskij]

The Boston Dynamics Atlas team is looking for an ML infra engineer to help build scalable machine learning pipelines that support our robots. Come help build the hardware and software of the future!

[Jan Czarnowski @czarnowskij]

We also have have two perception Research Scientist positions open for Atlas focused on ML robotics research:

Looking for super fast neural volume reconstruction and rendering?

At #CVPR2022 I'll be presenting Volumetric Bundle Adjustment (VBA). VBA enables fast and clean reconstruction for live 3D capture while a video is being recorded.

@ronnieclark__ that is really awesome!

[Eric Brachmann @eric_brachmann]

Does the "ground truth" treat you fairly? Watch this shocking #ICCV21video 🤯🤯🤯 You will not believe what a 10-year-old baseline looks like today!

Two guys come in to an ER. One has COVID. He’s sicker than he thought this would make him. Crashes pretty quickly. Docs and nurses do everything to help him. He needs ICU. Wasn’t vaccinated. Not a hard core anti vaxer. Just didn’t think he’d really need it, COVID not so bad.

[Jan Czarnowski @czarnowskij]

@wkentaro_ Mind blowing

[Jan Czarnowski @czarnowskij]

@ankurhandos That visualization looks really cool!

[Jan Czarnowski @czarnowskij]

@AjdDavison yep, having a blast! plenty of more vision stuff ahead
