Excited to head to #CoRL2026 this week with my students! Our group is presenting 3 works and 1 invited talk.
Check out our schedule below and come say hi! @hcy1n @ShuohanT @SizheWei @lunarlab_gatech

[Harish Ravichandar (✈️ CoRL 2026) @h_ravichandar]

Heading to #CoRL2026. Students from our lab will be presenting on various projects, ranging from behavioral dynamics to social navigation!

📢 I am hoping to recruit a PhD student and a post doc for Fall 2027. Please feel free to come say hi!

Looking forward to catching up with old friends and meeting new people.

P. S. Foundation models have made me too lazy to manually create visuals and obsess over every detail! But I honestly don't know if I love or hate this!

[Danfei Xu @danfei_xu]

Looking forward to seeing everyone at CoRL!

Our group RL2 is presenting 9 papers at the main conference and many more at workshop. Come chat with the authors!! #CoRL2026

@rauchg Incredibly cool!

@yuvaltassa @erwincoumans I have something. DM me if interested.

Everyone wants a SuperMimic!

[Nico Bohlinger ✈️ CoRL @NicoBohlinger]

How about: Whole-body motion tracking for the Unitree G1 in under a minute :)

XMimic trains one policy on all 40 LAFAN1 clips in 54 seconds on 4 H100s.
3.5x faster than BlinkMimic and 85x faster than SuperMimic.

@shay_krishnan @_kkaashyap @DennisAnthony__ Nice!

Solv3R looks amazing!

Can geometric foundation models move beyond fixed-set prediction and keep solving like classical SfM?

@taiyasaki Wow!

@QiuYuhengQiu After 2 best papers at ICRA you're on fire :-)

[Frank Dellaert @fdellaert]

Very cool work on learning IMU integration for a particular embodiment/motion profile, fully self-supervised. Food for thought!

Since the first learned inertial odometry 10 years ago, every method has needed ground-truth labels.

It doesn't have to: SSIO learns from raw IMU, fully self-supervised 🧵👇

We are releasing Echo-3 today. Its the best model in the world at 3D world reconstruction.

Believe it or not, this world below was generated from just an iPhone capture, no specialize capture hardware needed.

You scan a space with an iPhone and Echo-3 reconstructs it in super high quality while keeping metric consistent.

Think of the possibilities. Try it today at with our app @SpAItial_AI

[Joseph Amigo @Jsphamigo]

Great to see first-order gradients through learned world models scale to whole-body tracking. Congrats @qiayuanliao et al.! 👏
We explored a related, decoupled variant in DMO (CoRL '25): forward in the real simulator, backward through a learned model. https://t.co/SrLCn1mdVA ⁠

@smallfly @theworldlabs Very cool. Which GS library/package?
