building robots that build robots

[raghav @raghavvns]

would be probably in something like f1 but it is highly debatable since i believe as the group gets bigger it tends to be not as fun

[raghav @raghavvns]

if i was being honest, pulling all-nighter was most fun during undergrad while being part of a club competing in international collegiate competitions. primal. group competition under common constraints and objectives, the closest one could get a similar experience as an adult..

[Princeton Neuroscience Institute @PrincetonNeuro]

A team of researchers and citizen scientists led by @Princeton neuroscientists @MurthyLab and @SebastianSeung has created the first ever complete map of a centralized adult brain: the fruit fly 🪰🧠

@hausman_k Congratulations! This is great and I look forward to what the team will do!

the dexterity in manipulation is unbelievable

[Tesla Optimus @Tesla_Optimus]

Optimus can now sort objects autonomously 🤖

Its neural network is trained fully end-to-end: video in, controls out.

Come join to help develop Optimus (& improve its yoga routine 🧘)

@DhruvBatraDB Wouldn’t an union of sensorimotor control, language and reasoning be more fitting?

[Brett Hall @ToKTeacher]

In a world near fully automated by AI, the only thing that can never be automated is explanatory creativity.

People will never be made redundant.

[Brett Hall @ToKTeacher]

We already live in a world where explanatory creativity is the most valuable skill to possess. Happily we all have it, inherently.

Eventually it will basically be the only thing a person can offer for payment. In our actual, optimistic future, everyone can, therefore, thrive.

[RYAN SΞAN ADAMS @RyanSAdams]

@Noahpinion @ESYudkowsky Damn. I wish you had an argument against this.

I kinda want us to live.

[Cheng Chi @chichengcc]

What if the form of visuomotor policy has been the bottleneck for robotic manipulation all along? Diffusion Policy achieves 46.9% improvement vs prior StoA on 11 tasks from 4 benchmarks + 4 real world tasks! (1/7)

aye aye

[Karol Hausman @hausman_k]

I often hear: why work on embodied AI given how much easier it has become to work on {digital agents, language, vision, LLM startups}?

[Jim Fan @DrJimFan]

One analogy AI researchers love is “planes don’t flap their wings but they still fly, so AI isn’t required to mimic the brain”. Well, I mostly agree with this.

But here’s a fun counter idea 😆. EPFL developed a robot bird (“ornithopter”) that flaps wings and lands on branch: 🧵

TIL: Packet switches are quite interesting! Seems like a potential replacement for circuit switches

[Alex Xu @alexxubyte]

Debugging is extremely important for software engineers, but it's never taught in school.

Here are some top debugging techniques you can follow.

@hausman_k Is it hardware agnostic?
