🤖 Excited to share our recent work: Agentic Scene Policies!

General manipulation policy through agentic interactions with a 3D object map. Includes affordances, mobile queries and comparisons with VLAs!

Huge effort with @ckassab1 , Martin Büchner, @mmattamala, @kumaraditya_gup, Abhinav Valada, @duckietown_coo & @MauriceFallon

[Sacha Morin @SachMorin]

Happy to share that we'll be presenting OpenLex3D at NeuRIPS in San Diego!

TLDR: New 3D segmentation and object retrieval benchmark for open-vocab 3D scene representations. Project page: https://t.co/yPiwOwasYt

I am very late to share this but StepMix has been accepted in the Journal of Statistical Software!

StepMix is a Python/R package for generalized mixture modeling with support for clustering and classification. Available here: https://t.co/vNNqkW9yVa.

[Christina Kassab @ckassab1]

Our paper OpenLex3D is accepted to NeurIPS 2025!

tldr; a new benchmark for open-vocabulary scene understanding methods.

After 7 years at FAIR, I've been affected by the recent AI layoffs. If you are interested in robotics learning, let's chat :)

[Liam Paull @duckietown_coo]

Full draft of the SLAM Handbook is now released and free online (https://t.co/gzJn4jweLh) Chapter 17 "Towards Open-World Spatial AI" written by myself, @SachMorin, Dominic Maggio, Martin Büchner, Cesar Cadena, Abhinav Valada, and @lucacarlone1. Great new resource for SLAM.

[Glen Berseth @GlenBerseth]

I am hiring another postdoc for my lab. Consider applying if you have #foundationalmodels, #robotics, or #reinforcementlearning skills. You will help create generalist real-world agents (robots) with a team of 20 working on these problems and overly competitive go-karting.

Pourquoi certains patients atteints de la COVID-19 s’en sortent-ils moins bien que d’autres? L’équipe de @SachMorin a utilisé l’IA pour étudier 300 patient·e·s hospitalisé·e·s et comprendre comment certains marqueurs spécifiques liés à leur réponse immunitaire et à l’infection influençaient l’évolution clinique.

I joined Bell Labs last week for a summer internship in ML and robotics! Let me know if you're around New Jersey or NYC and want to meet up!

[Jason Ma @JasonMa2020]

We (@dineshjayaraman , @akrishna42 , and I) recently went on the Economist podcast to discuss DrEureka (https://t.co/8A5PdZrUGw) and other recent works from our lab as well as trends on robot foundation models! Give it a listen if you are interested!

[Haley Randolph @he_randolph]

our work delving into the interferon paradox is now out in @NatureComms!

couldn’t have asked for better co-authors on this one, congrats all 🥰 @ERatnasingham @SachMorin @mhultstrom @LB_Barreiro
