Check out our work on anomaly detection with amazing colleagues at #ICRA2025.

[Siddharth Ancha @siddancha]

Presenting “Anomalies by synthesis” at #ICRA2025: a diffusion-based approach that segments anomalies in images by first synthesizing what the image should’ve looked like if it were in-distribution, and then analyzing the difference between the two images!

#MarsHelicopter, you are cleared for takeoff. Flight commands are being sent.

Watch live on Monday, April 19 at 3:15am PT (6:15am ET/1015 GMT) as the team finds out if they've made history by achieving the first powered flight on another planet. https://t.co/SCVeYsIfBh

“Mind-bottling, isn't it?”
The blades of glory, aka rotor blades of the #MarsHelicopter, have been unlocked and are ready for testing. Next, we’ll do a slow-speed spin-up of the blades for the first time on the Martian surface. https://t.co/TNCdXWcKWE

The #MarsHelicopter is getting ready to do some work! But first, Ingenuity and its team must hit critical milestones that include properly deploying onto the surface, surviving the bone-chilling nights and charging batteries with the craft’s solar array. https://t.co/HuyX3C06oH

Your front-row seat to my Mars landing is here. Watch how we did it.

#CountdownToMars

[ARCHIVED - NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover @NASAPersevere]

I’m safe on Mars. Perseverance will get you anywhere.
